Both. It just depends on how the seller and the buyer want to do the transaction. The US Department of Agriculture measures it by the bushel when they are talking about domestic production, and by the metric ton when they are talking about world production.
Depends on what it is. bushel is traditionally a measurement of volume-approx an 8 gallon container, however for most common commodities, a standard weight is assigned for each one and used in that country for trade. Ex-Oats=32# for 1 bushel, Barley-48#, Malted Barley-34#, Wheat/Soybeans=60#, etc. etc. For wheat and soybeans weight is only valid for a certain specified moisture content of the product itself (which adds to the weight when increased) Conversion to pounds would depend on contents and wether there is already a standard assigned for those contents. if not weigh would have to be agreed upon between those doing business for the item in question to set a standard and would be approximate, as there is also an acceptable tolerance (plus or minus) for each bushel.
The average figure for one acre of farmland is 1/8 person per acre, however this is an average of all commoditites such as corn, wheat, rice, oats, barley, cattle, sheep, hogs, fruits, vegetables, etc. Also keep in mind that wheat is not an entire peron's diet, but wheat, a medium yielding crop, at an average of 80 bushels to the acre and a test weight of 60 pounds per when at 13.5% moisture, a bushel can produce 4800 pounds per acre.
