BTU's Needed to heat a typical 2000 Square Foot home in Michigan  =  85,000,000  
                 
                 
The BTU'S in a gallon of Propane are    91,400 BTU's      
                 
The BTU'S in a pound of corn are    8,000 BTU'S      
                 
The BTU'S in a bushel of corn are 8,000 x 56 lb's  448,000 BTU'S      
                 
                 
                 
To calculate Corn cost:              
                 
If you divide BTU'S needed per winter 850,300,000 by 448,000 = 190 Bushel needed per  Winter
                 
190 bushel Multiplied by your current price per bushel  $3.50 =   $665.00 To heat your Home with corn
                 
                 
                 
To calculate Propane cost:              
                 
If you divide BTU'S needed per winter by the BTU's in a gallon of propane  85,000,000 / 91,400 = 930
                 
930 gallons Multiplied by your current propane cost  $1.59 $1,478.67      
                 
To heat your home with corn you would save  $813.67
