8328.065 x height of tank 60 = 499683.9 cubic inches of volume
231 cubic inches per Gallon
499683.9 / 231 = 2163.13 gallons
Corn is roughly 5.99Lbs per gallon so that is 12957.15 pounds of corn.

This thing is over 8 ft across (diameter) and five feet tall so it's going to be alot more corn than what 4 55 gal drums will hold. Using an online pipe calculator this is over a 2000 gallon tank.
