Quick analytical parameters used for wheat quality assessment include total nitrogen (TN), thousand corn weight (TCW), bushel weight (BW), and specific weight (SW). Additional experimental quality parameters, such as alcohol yield (AY), may be important but take about three days to obtain ...
§ 810.401 Definition of corn.Grain that consists of 50 percent or more of whole kernels of shelled dent corn and/or shelled flint corn (Zea mays L.) and not more than 10.0 percent of other grains for which standards have been established under the United States Grain Standards Act.§ ...
“What you end up seeing a lot of time is the magic of someone trying to make every bushel of corn stretch. You see slightly reduced feeding rates. They will feed cattle a little less every day. It will take them longer to get up to slaughter weight,” said Randy Mittelstaedt, director...
Water evaporated during drying (shrinkage) accounts for 1.18% of the grain weight per percent moisture. You lose this weight regardless of whether you sell wet grain to the elevator, dry it mechanically or let the grain field dry. Thus, you should subtract this value from the dockage rate ...
The final corn gluten meal (6,285 kg/h in our model) has approximately the same protein content on a dry weight basis as the conventional process (Table 4). Starch washing and recovery The washing and recovery of the starch is done in 12 stages in a countercurrent fashion, as it is ...
Where rainfall has been short, we can expect to see smaller kernels and lower test weight. Drought-stressed corn can weigh about 52 to 53 Ibs. per bushel, and you have to start thinking about mycotoxins. We haven't had too much corn borer damage, with the prevalence now of Bt hybrids....
Corn yields have been rising at the rate of 2 bushels per acre for 55 years.Reaching 300-bushel-per-acre yields at that rate won't happen until 2086.Farmers have shown they can exceed 300 bushels per acre. How can they translate those yields to t
摘要: DECEMBER corn futures rocketed toward 8 dollar per bushel when flood waters rose in June, but collapsed under the weight of fund selling as those waters receded. In the end, the 62% re-tracement of the 2008 rally matched the retracement seen in each of the past two summers, but...
Each year, thousands of growers enter plots into yield contests run by the National Corn Growers Association and National Sorghum Producers. While these contests are designed to showcase the genetic yield potential of modern hybrids, they also serve as an opportunity for growers to learn from their...
landowning interests passed the notorious Corn Law, which was designed to keep the price of bread – the staple food of laborers – artificially inflated by banning the import of foreign grain until the domestic price had reached eighty shillings per quarter, or ten shillings per bushel of ...
