  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.
