Spelt has large pithy stems. As with oats, the hulls remain on the grain in threshing and comprise 20% to 30% of the grain weight. No official test weight has been established for spelt, but recent tests show that unhulled it averaged 28 lb/bu. The test weight of hulled seed is close to that of wheat (60 lb/bu).
The USDA uses a bushel as its official measuring unit for corn. A bushel of corn is 56 pounds. Using the standard dry-moisture rate of 15.5 percent, it takes roughly 70.7 ears of dry corn to produce one bushel. Therefore, the ideal weight of one ear of corn is 1.26 pounds. The USDA estimates that 158.8 bushels of corn is produced for every acre of crop planted. This equates to roughly 11,227 ears of corn (14,146.02 pounds) produced per acre.
