What is a bushel?

Bushel (English BUSHEL, abbreviated as BU) is a unit of measurement. It is a quantitative container, just like the old measuring containers such as buckets and liters in my country. One bushel in the UK is equal to eight gallons, equivalent to 36.268 liters (metric). In the United States, one bushel is equivalent to 35.238 liters (metric). The weight of 1BU of oil or grain varies. Even for the same oil or grain, the actual conversion may be somewhat different due to different varieties or origins. According to the American Soybean Association's statistical unit conversion table, the weight of 1BU soybeans is 60lb (pounds) or 27.2154 kilograms. The same volume of cottonseed is 32lb; corn is 70lb; peanut kernels (produced in Virginia) are 17lb; peanut kernels (produced in Spain) are 25lb; and sunflowers are 28lb. This is just a customary measurement concept in industry statistics. However, in trade settlement, the actual weight shall prevail.
