How much grain is that?
Bushel weights are the trade standards at standard moisture. Wet grain weighs more per bushel and is discounted accordingly.
The math
How to convert bu to kg
A bushel is a volume, so each crop has its own weight: wheat 27.22 kg, corn 25.40 kg, oats 14.52 kg. Multiply bushels by that figure.
Example: 1,000 bu = 27,215.5 kg.
The table below uses Wheat (60 lb/bu). Change the crop and the bushel weight changes with it.
