Weight of cubic foot of silage?

Question

I need to make an offer on some silage. I have taken the measurements of what is there, now I need to determine the weight of a cubic foot. By measureing the lenght by the length and the height I have determined there should be apporximately 9600 cubic feet. What would the weight of a cubic foot be? It is drier at the top than at the bottom. That is about it, thanks.

Answer 1

Not knowing the composition of your silage; here are some clues.
Buck wheat = 41 Lbs/ cu. ft.
Soy beans = 45 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Corn on the cob = 45 Lbs/ cu. ft.
Alfalfa (ground) = 16 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Garbage = 30 Lbs/ cu. ft.
Hay (loose) = 5 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Hay (pressed) = 24 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Cotten seed (dry) = 35 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Rice (hulled) = 47 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Wheat = 48 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Wheat (cracked) = 42 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Bran = 16 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Saw dust = 17 Lbs./ cu. ft.
Take your pick or combination there of.
Good Luck on your bid.....
