It depends on the material being measured. Bushel is volume measurement while ounces is a weight measurement. If you know the commodity being measured, you can then figure out the ounces. For example, dry shelled field corn is 56 pounds per bushel. Take that multiplied by 16 ounces per pound and you can say that for corn, a bushel is 896 ounces.
Assuming the dry-milling method of ethanol production (the most common), one 56-pound bushel of corn makes 2.7 gallons of fuel ethanol and 17.4 pounds of dried distillers' grain. This means that 69% of the corn went into the ethanol.
One bone dry ton (BDT) is a volume of wood chips (or other bulk material) that would weigh one ton (2000 pounds, or 0.9072 metric tons) if all the moisture content was removed.Note the difference between "ton" (also known as US short ton) and "metric ton" (also known as tonne). A ton weighs 2000 pounds, while a metric ton weighs 2204.623 pounds.
include dry field and seed peas and beans, safflowers, sunflowers, and popcorn. The industry also includes farms growing barley, buckwheat, lentils, oats, sorghum, rye, mustard seeds, cowpea and flaxseed
The bone dry unit (bdu) is used in the forest industry to measure bulk products such as wood chips; it is a unit of volume.One bone dry unit (bdu) is a volume of wood chips (or other bulk material) that would weigh 2400 pounds (or 1.0886 metric tons) if all the moisture content was removed.
There are 16 lbs's for dry greens and 18 lbs's for wet greens...Does not include the turnips, which is 54 lbs for a bushel.
32 dry quarts per bushel.
1 US dry bushel = 32 US dry quarts
A bushel is a unit of dry volume, usually subdivided into eight local gallons in the systems of Imperial units and U.S. customary units. It is used for volumes of dry commodities, not liquids, most often in agriculture. It is abbreviated as bsh. or bu. * 1 U.S. bushel = 35.23907017 litres = 8 corn/dry gallons = 9.309177489 wine/liquid gallons * 1 Imperial bushel = 36.36872 litres = 8 Imperial gallons 25 pounds of purple hulls in a bushel
a bushel of collard greens weigh 30 pounds
Assuming the corn weighs 56 pounds per bushel as it should, 25 gallons (US, dry) is 175 pounds total weight.
60Weights and Measures defines the weight to be 50 lbsTen540pounds
1 bushel [US, dry] = 35.2390704 liters.
A bushel of tomatoes is 60-62 lbs. (varied by type and size). A peck is 1/4 bushel or 2 dry gallons or 15-16 lbs. of tomatoes.
In the United States, a bushel is a unit of volume used for the dry measurement of things such as vegetables, fruits or grains and is equivalent to 4 pecks. In the U.S. Customary System, a bushel is equal to 2,150.42 cubic inches, or 35.24 litres. When used as a British capacity of measure, or in the British Imperial System, a bushel is used as both a dry and liquid measure and equals 2219.36 cubic inches or 36.37 litres. To better visualize the capacity of a bushel, one can use the following list to get a better idea regarding the actual size of a bushel: 42-48 pounds of apples 60 pounds of potatoes 45 pounds of tomatoes 42 pounds of white flour 56 pounds of shelled corn 50 pounds of rutabagas 48 pounds of barley 32 pounds of oats 42 pounds of turnips
A bushel and a pound are two different measurements! While both are generally dry units of measurements the bushel is used mostly in agriculture. A bushel of wheat and a bushel of corn have two different weights as do apples and oranges, where as a pound is a pound. The only way you're going to figure out the weight of a bushel of crabs is to cram as many crabs into a bushel basket as you can (good luck with that) and weigh it. Then again it depends on the type of crabs as well.
There is approximately 53lbs in a bushel. So half a bushel would be approximately 25-26lbs.
