A bushel is a unit of VOLUME
A ton is a unit of MASS
The two con not be directly equated. To do so you need to know the density of the stuff being measured.
Assuming the corn is dry then, a dry bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds.
So one short ton of corn is equivalent to 35.7 bushels,
One long ton of corn is equivalent to 40 bushels,
One metric tonne of corn is equivalent to 39.4 bushels
33 1/3 bushels of wheat makes one ton.
One.
36.74 bushels of soybeans in one metric ton. See US Soy Export Council for more conversions. http://www.ussoyexports.org/resources/conversions.htm.
One metric ton of corn is equal to 45.9296 bushels. One bushel of corn is equal to .021772 metric tons.
The Imperial bushel is roughly 3% larger than the American bushel. In the United States there are 36 to 37 bushels per ton of wheat, depending on moisture content, variety, and other factors. So in Australia, there would be 3% fewer bushels, since the bushels are larger. That still works out to about 36 bushels per long ton.
Eight imperial gallons equal one bushel45 gallons would equal 5 bushels and 5 gallons.
Bushels are now most often used as units of mass or weight rather than of volume!!!! Wheat and Corn are measured by the Bushel! One Bushel of Wheat is equal to 27.21829069134458 Kilos! One Bushel of Corn is equal to 25.39998628400741 Kilos!
The number of bushes in one ton of wheat depends on the specific bushel weight of the wheat variety. Generally, one bushel of wheat weighs about 60 pounds. Therefore, one ton (2,000 pounds) of wheat would be approximately 33.33 bushels (2,000 ÷ 60).
A futures (never "future") contract obligates the participants to complete the transaction. An option contract doesn't. If I bought 5000 to 7000 bushels of wheat a month, I would get one wheat futures contract (5000 bushels) and two mini wheat options (1000 bushels) - preferably one that expires on the 10th and the other on the 20th. I'd have to buy the 5000 bushels, but would only buy the rest if I needed it.
It depends on the grain variety, size, moisture content, and so on. Wheat averages 36 to 37 bushels per ton, barley closer to 46 bushels per ton.
One contract on the Chicago exchange is 50,000 bushels.
Projected yields for wheat per acre is usually about 56 bushels. However, some very productive fields can produce as much as twice that amount.
