1 bushel [US, dry] = 1.2444560268 cubic feet. A 60' diameter bin will have 2,827.4333 cubic feet per vertical linear foot. Therefore, one vertical foot of corn in the bin will be 3,518.62 bushels (approximate). This is based only on the straight bushel volume; it does not allow for corn which may be light (or heavy) on test weight, or with a moisture content outside the norm.
The simple answer is that it has a volume of a bushel. A bushel is about 35 liters or about one and a quarter cubic feet. The imperial bushel is about 3% larger. As for the actual dimensions of a bushel basket, I would have to get back to you on that, but I would guess about 18" diameter and a foot tall.
The biggest bin can be split into a number of things. Amount of storage , height and diameter. As far as I know, there is one bin that wins two of the categories. It's a bin made by a company called Brock. It's 156 ft in diameter (across), 70 ft high at the peak and can hold op to 1.34 million bushel of grain. Another Brock bin that's only 132 ft across can be built as tall as 98 feet.
. . . is that a bushel of feathers, a bushel of cotton, a bushel of wheat, or a bushel of lead pellets? (A bushel is a volume, not a weight.)
33% of 60000 = 33% * 60000 = 0.33 * 60000 = 19,800

23% of 60000= 23% * 60000= 0.23 * 60000= 13,800
A #10 can is 6.25" diameter x 7" tall can this is about 215 cubic inches or 1/10th of a bushel (10 cans to a bushel) this can will hold about 6.9 lbs of wheat corns, or 3.75 lbs flour
half of a percent of 60000 = 3001/2% of 60000= 1/2% * 60000= 0.005 * 60000= 300
17% of 60,000= 17% * 60000= 0.17 * 60000= 10,200
