This bin stores up to 14,768 bushels of corn.

  • At 100% fill this round bin holds 14,768 bushels.
  • Corn at 56 lb/bu weighs about 827,017 lb (413.5 short tons) at that fill level.
  • Allow 1-2% headspace for aeration and moisture management; avoid filling the peaked roof section with damp grain.

Next stepCompare this capacity to your expected harvest yield to determine whether you need additional storage or will need to schedule timely movement of grain.
