When buying corn by the bushel, do you factor in the moisture content? I am buying corn from a friend, and it was tested at 16% moisture. I weighed my wagons before hand, filled them, and reweighed them. He says the weight of corn is 56lbs per bushel so we divide the weight by 56 and multiply by the agreed price per bushel. I say it is 56lbs per bushel at 0% moisture if I remember correctly? If so, do I pay for the 16% moisture in the corn or is that subtracted from the final cost?
Last year I bought strictly buy the bushel and felt that was fair. This year it seems like I'm getting the shorter end of the stick.
I'm not disputing the price per bushel, just the 16% moisture in the corn that I'm paying for when I have to pay by weight.
Thanks for any advice, and I'm not going to ruin a friendship over this, but thought if I am right I'd like to at least try and have it be truly fair to both of us.
