Calculation correct

[principal skinner]

Just measured my heap of barley to give me an idea what's there, am I correct in the following?

372 cubic meters x 0.67(67 bushel weight) = 249t

Average moisture 11-13% no point in correcting to 15% as what's there is there!

Yes

Both principal and maths are correct.

Hmmm Infinity barley has done exactly 3t acre. Light ground, 5 acres rabbit damage. Just glad it was cut before the rain. Not sure if I’m happy or not, 116t is sold well though which softens the blow slightly.

Thank you

Par for the course? Can’t be bad?

The maths and moisture assumptions are sound.

Be happy - what would it have yielded without the early June rain?

Sorry sound like a pedantic physics teacher here but-

No not quite right, maths ok but units wrong.
Should be 67kg/hl

55 would be a good number for a bushel of barley and then divided by qubic feet.

If it makes the heap bigger I’m interested, if not.............. I’m not

372m3 = 13,137ft3
13,137 / 55 = 238.85t

Oops better stick to metric
