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
a bushel is 56 lb
It takes about 7.5 pounds of peas to make a bushel of peas. This means that it takes about 1 1/2 five gallon buckets of peas to make a whole bushel of peas.
37.27 quarts Given that 37.27 quarts does indeed make a bushel of peas, there is another point of view that needs to be considered. If you are purchasing peas directly from a farmer, you normally buy them unshelled. A bushel of unshelled peas will not give you 37.27 quarts after you shell them, far from it. Normally you can expect only about a gallon of peas (4 quarts) after shelling a bushel of peas. If however the farmer is generous, you might actually get 5 to 6 quarts. This is what is called a 'round' bushel. That is, heaped until peas fall out of a bushel basket.
According to the folks at the local Farmer's Market a bushel of shelled peas is 10lbs or should I say that's what they sell it as.
25 pounds is equal to a bushel of peas that are still hulled.
The weigh of a bushel of field peas is 25 pounds. The weigh for one bushel of snap beans is 30 pounds. One bushel of unshelled lima beans weighs 30 pounds, and one bushel of pole beans weighs 28 pounds.
same as a bushel of salt
As of this morning 6/2/23. 38$ for 8lb (bushel they said)
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.
