how many ears of corn in a bushel

A bushel of corn typically contains about 112 ears of corn if the ears are 8 inches long. This is based on the estimate that one 8-inch ear of corn contains about 0.50 pounds of shelled corn grain, and a bushel equals 56 pounds of corn. The number of ears per bushel can vary depending on the size of the ears, with more ears per bushel if the ears are shorter, and fewer if the ears are longer.
