Computing Capacity of 
Cribs 
The following formulas give bushels of 
70 lb. basis husked ear corn. For shelled 
corn, double number of bushels of ear 
corn and correct for moisture. For un- 
husked ear corn (72 lbs. per bu.), take 24 
of figure for husked ear corn; unhusked 
corn varies greatly. 
Square or Rectangular Cribs — Multiply 
the length by the width by the depth of 
grain (all in feet). Multiply this sum by 
2 and divide by 5. The result is bushels of 
husked ear corn at 70 lbs. per bu. Cor- 
rect for shelling percentage and moisture 
as directed on preceding pages. 
Round Cribs — Multiply the diameter 
_ (distance across center) by the diameter. 
Multiply this sum by the depth (all in 
feet). Multiply the sum by .315. The re- 
sult is bushels at 70 lbs. per bu. Correct 
for moisture and shelling percentages. 
Piles of Corn — When heaped in the 
form of a cone, multiply the diameter 
(distance across the center) by the diam- 
eter. Multiply this sum by the depth of 
the pile at its greatest depth (all in feet). 
Multiply this sum by .105. The result is 
bushels at 70 pounds per bushel. Correct 
for moisture and shelling percentage.
