Adam talks about farming with his family and raising pigs. He also takes us for a ride in the tractor and grain cart during corn harvest.

Questions: Adam showed us the scale monitor in the tractor cab which showed about 23,000 pounds of corn in the grain cart. Most farmers measure corn grain in bushels. If each bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds, how many bushels of corn were in the grain cart?
