Conversions
Bushels to Metric Tons
- bu. x 0.027216 = MT wheat or soybeans
- bu. x 0.025400 = MT corn
- bu. x 0.021772 = MT barley
Bushels/Acre to Metric Tons / Hectare:
- bu./acre x .06725 = MT/ha. wheat or soybeans
- bu./acre x .06277 = MT/ha. corn
- bu./acre x .05380 = MT/ha. barley
Pounds/Bushel to Kilogram/Hectoliter (wheat or soybeans):
- lbs./bu. x 1.287 = kg./hl.
Metric Tons to Bushels:
- MT x 36.74 = bu. wheat or soybeans
- MT x 39.36 = bu. corn
- MT x 45.92 = bu. of barley
Metric Ton / Hectare to Bushels/Acre (wheat or soybeans):
Kilogram/Hectoliter to Pounds/Bushel (wheat or soybeans):
- kg./hl. x 0.777 - lbs./bu.
