Grain Conversion Calculator

A grain converter is a tool that helps farmers, traders, and agricultural professionals convert between different units of measurement for agricultural commodities. It's essential for pricing, storage calculations, and trading decisions since different markets use different units.

A bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds or approximately 25.4 kilograms. This is the standard weight used for corn trading and pricing in North America.

To calculate bushels in a grain bin, you need to know the bin's volume and the grain type. First, calculate the bin's cubic feet, then multiply by the bushel factor for your specific grain. Our calculator can convert any weight measurement to bushels for accurate bin calculations.

Our grain calculator uses official conversion factors from agricultural organizations like the Canada Grains Council and USDA. The conversions are highly accurate for standard grain grades and moisture contents used in commercial trading.

A bushel is a volume-based measurement that varies by grain type (wheat bushel = 60 lbs, corn bushel = 56 lbs), while a tonne is a fixed weight measurement (1000 kg or 2204.62 lbs). The conversion between them depends on the specific grain's density.

No, you cannot directly convert between different grain types as each has its own density and bushel weight. However, you can convert the same grain type between different units (bushels, tonnes, pounds, kilograms) using our calculator.

10 bushels of barley equals 480 pounds, since a bushel of barley weighs 48 pounds. Use our calculator to instantly convert any amount of barley or other grains between different units.

Grain prices appear different per unit because they represent the same value expressed in different measurements. For example, $5/bushel wheat equals approximately $183.72/tonne, but both represent the same price per unit weight of grain.
