Roughly two dollars a pound in the shell. So, around 20 pounds of peas in the shell per bushel should bring around 40 dollars a bushel.
$25
As of this morning 6/2/23. 38$ for 8lb (bushel they said)
I'm not sure about a gallon but I am currently growing purple hull peas and I have been selling then by the bushel and have been getting $18 for unshellled and $22 for shelled. Some people in my area (Alabama) have been getting as much as $24 and $25 a bushel. Hope this helps......Lori :)
Shelling a bushel of purple hull peas by hand typically takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the individual's experience and efficiency. Factors such as the freshness of the peas, the shelling technique, and the number of people working can also influence the time required. However, with practice, many find they can shell a bushel more quickly.
As of my last update, the price of a bushel of purple hull peas in Alabama can vary based on factors such as the season, demand, and local market conditions. Typically, prices can range from $30 to $50 per bushel. For the most accurate and current pricing, it's best to check with local farmers' markets or agricultural reports in Alabama.
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
Thirty five pounds of shelled peas per bu of unshelled. Approx 8 quarts per bu of shelled peas from a bu of unshelled.
From what I have learned today, you should get 13-17 quarts from a bushel. Check out these links: http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/regions/srd/nutrition/ToMarket_2009.pdf http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/bushels.html
