Since there doesn't seem to be a handy-dandy online calculator for this, please verify my calculations:
1. Find the amount of dry matter in a bushel of corn. Corn is 56lbs/bu @ 15.5% so 84.5% dry material.
56 * .845 = 47.32lb/bu dry material
2. Find the weight of a bushel of 25% moisture corn, or at 75% dry material.
47.32 / .75 = 63lb/bu @ 25% moisture
3. Calculate the bushels in 100 tons of corn at 25% moisture at 63lb/bu
100 * 2000 = 200,000 / 63 = 3174 bushels @ 25% moisture
