Production planning estimate

Plan around lb of dried corn kernels

A starting estimate is 0.97 lb of cornmeal per lb of dried kernels. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.

What you'll need

— lb of dried corn kernels

Planning note: A grain mill grinds dried dent corn kernels into meal, coarse or fine depending on the setting. Whole kernels keep far longer in storage than ground meal, so most home mills grind in small batches as needed.
