When I came to the farm I knew what a bushel was academically, but I never really knew what one bushel looked like. So after cleaning out one of our wheat drills I decided I wanted to measure one out. Below is an approximation of volumetric bushel of wheat.
A bushel can be both a volumetric measurement as well as a mass or weight measurement. Typically in agriculture the bushel is measured by weight. For instance, a standard bushel of wheat is 60 pounds whereas a standard bushel of corn is 56 pounds. Of course the weight and density of a grain depends greatly on the moisture content of the grain.
