bushel

A bushel is a unit of measurement used primarily in agriculture to quantify large quantities of crops, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. It varies slightly depending on the commodity, but generally, one bushel equals about 8 gallons or roughly 35.2 liters. For example, a bushel of wheat weighs approximately 60 pounds. It provides a standardized way to measure and compare agricultural produce, facilitating trade and pricing. While used less frequently in everyday life, it remains an important measurement in farming and commodities markets.
