Question
can you tell me how large a circle of harvested corn is? this is my dads term from the early fifties in ontario canada when he farmed there. something like 30 feet across and 15 feet high held in by fencing pickets and wire...?

Answer
Peter
No, I can not tell you how much corn is in a circle. Because of the climate we cannot raise corn here. All I can tell you is the bushel weight is 70 pounds with the cob or 56 pounds shucked. It probly is a term used in Canada. Some older farmer should be able to tell you.
Good luck in finding out, Richard
