    shelled corn is 56 lbs/ bu

    ear corn is 70 lbs/bu, though i think it was recently changed to 68 (due to change in composition over time)

    I believe the common measurement is 48 ears per bushel, but not sure.

    I assume you are talking about bushel baskets

    if there are 160 bushel baskets, you have 160 bushels of ear corn

    160 x 70 (or 68) = lbs ear corn

    lbs ear corn x 0.8 = lbs shelled corn

    lbs shelled corn / 56 = bushels of shelled corn
