In my neck of the woods, they sell sweet corn by the dozen. So in a nut shell, it is sold by the ear and not by the bushel.
I've been hauling shelled corn. They do 2 tests on the corn. One test is, they weigh a small volume of it to come up with a test weight. Then they do a moisture test for the second test. If necessary (high enough moisture), I presume they make an adjustment to the test weight. That's the gest of how it's done. I'm unfamiliar with conversion charts and scales when it comes to this. But I do know that the elevators like it at or below 15 percent moisture. They don't dock at 15 or under. But they do if over. That might be where the line is on thier moisture scale where it quits effecting the test weight (15 and lower). Don't know that fir sure. But there would have to be a line somewhere, where it is just light weight corn and not good quality corn, and moisture no longer having anything to do with it.
Ear corn was a little before my day. But I had the opposite idea on that. I thought a bushel of ear corn was a larger volume that would equal a bushel of shelled corn if it was shelled. It'd obviously take more volume and poundage of ear corn to come up with the same amount of shelled corn. So I always figured it was the other way. But, I could be wrong about that. Like I said, ear corn picking was before my day.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
