Bushels (U.S.) to Liters Converter
The bushel is a traditional dry-goods measure still used in US agriculture for pricing and trading grain, corn, wheat, and soybeans — a farmer or grain trader may need to convert bushels to liters or cubic meters when comparing to international harvest and shipping figures.
This tool goes beyond the US bushel: the "From" and "To" dropdowns also cover the distinct Imperial bushel and peck, plus the full range of other volume units.
- Conversion factor: 1 U.S. (Winchester) bushel = 35.2390701686 liters (defined as 2,150.42 cubic inches).
- Fully flexible: change either dropdown to convert between any two of the 40+ supported volume units.
- US and Imperial bushels differ: the Imperial bushel (36.369 liters) is about 3% larger than the US bushel — always check which standard your grain figures are quoted in.
How many liters are in a bushel?
1 U.S. bushel equals approximately 35.239 liters. To convert, multiply the bushel value by 35.2390701686.
Why is grain priced and measured in bushels instead of weight?
Historically grain was measured by volume for practical trading reasons, though modern grain trading often converts bushel prices to weight-equivalent figures (e.g. bushels of corn have a standard assumed weight) for more precise comparisons.
