Different crops have different bushel weights. Wheat for example is 60 lbs per bushel, (corn is 56). 60lbs x 5 per acre is 300lbs/acre, which is 136kg/acre.

Google Bushels to kilos converter, as said different grains /oilseeds all have different bushel weights.
In North America/Canada can you use bushels per acre or tonnes per acre/ ha in on combine yield meters.

all our crops weight differently but so what its what they yield per acre or per hectare as a whole that were only interested in
as we all know in the UK & hopefully most of Europe total metric or imperial weights to the area cut is all that matters too us.
And please no pounds n ounces yeesshh there hard work also.
