Bushel (bu) – A measure of capacity for grain trade. A bushel is equal to the volume of 64 US pints or 35.2 litres. I.e. We accidentally left the auger on and dropped about 20 bushels of wheat on the ground.

Pound (lbs) – A unit of weight equal to 0.4536 kilograms. The number of pounds in a bushel vary by grain. I.e. there are 60 lbs in 1 bushel of wheat but only 56 lbs equal 1 of corn.

Hundredweight (CWT) – A unit of weight equal to 100 lbs or about 45.4 kilograms. This measurement is commonly used when trading pulses or cotton.

Metric Tonne (MT) – A unit of weight equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,205 lbs. Also written as Metric Ton, the Metric Tonne is not to be confused with the Short Ton (completely different things).
