1 bushel of wheat or soybeans = 60 pounds (77.2 Kg./hl.).
Weight. Weight (or more technically accurate, mass) in the metric system is measured in kilograms (kg). One kilogram equals about 2.2 pounds. A gram (1/1,000 kilogram is approximately the weight of a paper clip), and is used for making very small measurements. One liter of water weighs one kilogram at sea level. Weights. 1 bushel of wheat or soybeans = 60 pounds (77.2 Kg./hl.). 1 bu corn = 56 lbs. 1 bu barley = 48 lbs. 36.74 bushels of wheat = 1 metric ton. 33.33 bushels of wheat = 1 short ton. The metric ton of 2204.6 pounds is the weight unit most widely used in reporting international trade statistics. To compare agricultural commodity prices in different countries, conversions often need to be made between the U.S. system and the metric system. When converting livestock prices (see Table 1), the basic conversion is based on converting pounds to kilograms. Some of our traditional terms are more complicated to convert from one system to another. Grain yields for example are conventionally expressed in terms of volume per acre (bu/a). In the metric system, yield is given by weight (kilograms per hectare). Most of the world does its measuring in meters, grams, and liters. The United States is the only major trading nation that does not use the metric system. So we often need to make conversions between our system and In Canada, grain test weight is officially expressed in metric units of kilograms per hectolitre (kg/hL), which may commonly be referred to as bushel weight and expressed as pounds per bushel (lb/bu). In the metric system, yield is given by weight (kilograms per hectare). A corn yield of 200 bushels per acre is ﬁ rst expressed by weight (200 bu @ 56 lb/bu = 11,200 lbs) and then converted to kilograms (11,200 lbs * .4536 kg/lb = 5,080 kg). We assume you are converting between kilogram and pound. You can view more details on each measurement unit: kg or lb. The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram. 1 kilogram is equal to 2.20462262185 lb. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results.
