What is bushell of corn?

A bushel of corn is a unit of measure equal to 4 pecks or 32 dry quarts. In the United States, it is standardized at 2,545 cubic inches (42.190 liters). This unit of measure is most commonly used to measure amounts of grain, including corn, wheat, and barley. For example, a farmer might sell their corn crop to a grain elevator in bushels. Additionally, it can be used to describe yields per acre when growing certain grains, with higher bushels per acre indicating a successful harvest. The term "bushel of corn" has been used since the Middle Ages as a way to compare and trade larger quantities of grains on farms, in markets, and during international trade.
