Frequently Asked Questions
How many metric tons in a corn bushel?
1 corn bushel (56 lbs) = 0.0254 metric tons (MT). For price: $/MT = $/bushel ÷ 0.0254.
Why are conversion factors different?
Each commodity has a different standard bushel weight. Corn uses 56 lbs per bushel, barley uses 48 lbs. DDGS and other feed ingredients have their own conversion factors based on processing yields.

What's the difference between bushels and metric tons?
A bushel is a volume measure (US), but for grains it's standardized by weight (e.g., 56 lbs for corn). A metric ton (MT) is 1,000 kilograms. International trade typically uses MT.
