Table 1.1-3. Crop residue production of different crops in rotation.
| Yield (bu/A) | Bushel weight (lbs/bu) | Yield (lbs/A) | Moisture content (ratio) | Dry matter (ratio) | Grain dry matter yield (lbs/A) | Residue: grain ratio | Residue dry matter yield (lbs DM/A) | Tons/A | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| To calculate crop residue yield, multiply crop grain yield (bu/A) and dry matter content (ratio) and residue:grain ratio. | |||||||||
