Osr quantity

[JD6920s]

Just wondering if anyone knows how to calculate osr in store.
For grain I divide cubic feet by,
45 for wheat
50 for barley
60 for oats.

It's closest to wheat but I'd take the barley figure and have a bit left over if you're looking for a margin of error for marketing tonnage. It does vary with the year as it does for cereals - mine looked like it ought to use the oats figure this year!

Divide cubic feed by 35.5
Multiply by bushel weight / hectolitre weight of osr

Merchant will tell you bushel when they sample for oils etc.

I've never got osr to weigh as heavy as wheat. Only ever get around 10 t on a 12 t trailer.

More than barley, less than wheat
