Shrinkage occurs whenever wet grain is dried. As grain is dried, moisture is removed from the grain by evaporation, which results in a loss of volume (fewer bushels) and a weight loss (fewer lbs or tonnes of grain).
This calculator may be used with any type of grain including wheat, barley, corn beans sunflowers, canola and flax.
