Ok, I know this was talked about a bit the other day but. One elevator I banked alot of corn at, with 55.5-57# test weights and 18.2-21% moisture. I cant figure out what the did, their net bushels is off from what I think it should be. OK, there is the (gross wight-tare weight)=net weight(-moisture weight). So this gives me the total weight of dry corn bushels, right? So what they do is divide this weight by 56#, right?? The result should be the bushels I have banked , correct? Every slip I go through, when I divide the net dry weight by the bushels credited for that load, it comes up at 59.5#. Am I missing something here? Are the screwing me outa 350#"s of corn for every 1000 bushels I am banking? I checked my slips from GoldnPlump, and they all come back with 56# for their figures. I dont get it. Drying costs are billed to my account rather than taken from the corn stored at the place in question. If this is standard I can feel better, but to me it doesnt seem right. I was gonna haul in 2300 more bushel to store but not sure I want to now. Have a freind that says he will buy all I have for $3.50 since I have lower moisture and better test weights than anything he has.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
