How the grain weight calculator works

Bushels to weight:
The calculator multiplies bushels by test weight to estimate pounds, tons, kilograms, and metric tonnes.

Weight to bushels:
Known weight is converted to pounds, then divided by test weight to estimate bushels.

Truck loads:
Net truck payload is divided into grain weight to estimate the number of loads needed.

Grain value:
Marketable bushels are multiplied by adjusted price, then storage, handling, and freight costs are subtracted.

Why use a grain weight calculator?

A grain weight calculator helps convert between bushels, pounds, tons, metric tonnes, and loads for harvest, hauling, storage, and marketing.

It can help compare test weight, grain type, total pounds, tons, truck loads, marketable bushels, shrink, freight cost, storage cost, and net grain value.

What your result means

Your result shows estimated grain weight in pounds, US tons, kilograms, metric tonnes, bushels, marketable bushels, truck loads, payload per load, gross grain value, total costs, and net grain value. These are estimates based on the values you enter.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate grain weight from bushels?

Multiply bushels by the grain test weight. For example, 1,000 bushels of corn at 56 lb/bu equals 56,000 pounds.

How many pounds are in a bushel of corn?

A standard bushel of corn is commonly calculated at 56 pounds.

How many pounds are in a bushel of soybeans or wheat?

Soybeans and wheat are commonly calculated at 60 pounds per bushel.

How do you convert grain pounds to tons?

Divide pounds by 2,000 to get US tons. To estimate metric tonnes, multiply pounds by 0.000453592.
