55 gallon of corn will weigh more.

Bushel are a measure of volume. A bushel of oats weighs 32 pounds and a bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds.

You will get about 7 bushels in a 55 gallon barrel.

Corn= 392 pounds per 55 gallons and oats will be about 224 pounds.

Exactly.

Just to add, often good oats weighs a bit more than the official 32 lbs - 36-40# (if planted late or odd weather, can end up very light as in 28# too tho), and corn can vary typically a couple lbs less, sometimes if good air dried a couple lbs more.
