how much is in a bushel?
Exactly how much is a bushel?
You hear this term for measurement all of the time, particularly in agriculture reports, but exactly how much is a bushel?
In the United States, a bushel is a unit of volume used for the dry measurement of things such as vegetables, fruits or grains and is equivalent to 4 pecks. In the U.S. Customary System, a bushel is equal to 2,150.42 cubic inches, or 35.24 liter.
When used as a British capacity of measure, or in the British Imperial System, a bushel is used as both a dry and liquid measure and equals 2219.36 cubic inches or 36.37 liters.
To better visualize the capacity of a bushel, one can use the following list to get a better idea regarding the actual size of a bushel:
42-48 pounds of apples
60 pounds of potatoes
45 pounds of tomatoes
42 pounds of white flour
56 pounds of shelled corn
50 pounds of rutabagas
48 pounds of barley
32 pounds of oats
42 pounds of turnips
The average person may never actually measure anything in terms of a bushel, but having a basic understanding of this form of measurement may certainly help city folk during that next visit to the orchard or farm

Codin’ Power Moves.
140 Visitors and 1511 Page loads for the month of February. Not bad at all! March isn’t going to shabby either, so far: 56 Visitors and 256 Page Loads. An incredible start to a community web page.
I was hoping to address a few issues, it would super helpful if responses, criticisms, questions, etc… could go into the comments.
- We have ads. Go daddy ads. SUPER bunty. Unfortunately, those can not be solved without a 60$ payment to go daddy. This 60 dawwwas will be good for a year….details here (we would just need the economy plan). I was hoping within this community of bunty-folk, we could all pitch in 5-10$ using paypal to get rid of those damn ads (use cone.rc [at] gmail.com if your in a hurry to juice the trippp). What do you think? Do we even care about ads?
- Aesthetics. What does everyone want to see as to visual design? Is there anyone else who want to help with designing the site? I actually awoke to an interesting idea last night, we’ll see how it turns out. Let me know. Look at this crazy wordpress site: http://ma.tt and get inspired.
- Organization. How do we want to organize our posts, pages, pictures? Should we create specific categories or let them be created infinitely? I want to implement a bit of magic that “features posts”. For example, the best 3 posts during a week, month, what have you…would stick at the top, and get more “page time” so to say. Allowing us to post a bunch of bunty riff raff, but still having quality content at the top of the blog and “featured”.
discuss.
