56 lb
About $12.
I'm not sure about a gallon but I am currently growing purple hull peas and I have been selling then by the bushel and have been getting $18 for unshellled and $22 for shelled. Some people in my area (Alabama) have been getting as much as $24 and $25 a bushel. Hope this helps......Lori :)
It takes about 7.5 pounds of peas to make a bushel of peas. This means that it takes about 1 1/2 five gallon buckets of peas to make a whole bushel of peas.
Check out this website: http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/bushels.html I would think purple hull peas should be around the same as field peas. If I find out differently, I will come back and try to correct this entry.
37.27 quarts Given that 37.27 quarts does indeed make a bushel of peas, there is another point of view that needs to be considered. If you are purchasing peas directly from a farmer, you normally buy them unshelled. A bushel of unshelled peas will not give you 37.27 quarts after you shell them, far from it. Normally you can expect only about a gallon of peas (4 quarts) after shelling a bushel of peas. If however the farmer is generous, you might actually get 5 to 6 quarts. This is what is called a 'round' bushel. That is, heaped until peas fall out of a bushel basket.
The weight of one hamper of picked peas can vary depending on the size and capacity of the hamper, as well as the amount of peas it contains. Typically, a hamper of picked peas could range from a few pounds to around 20-30 pounds.
"Shelled" is not a verb on its own. It is typically used as an adjective to describe something that has had its shell removed, like "shelled nuts" or "shelled peas."
25 pounds is equal to a bushel of peas that are still hulled.
I would not give my goldfish any shelled peas. The best food for them is Earthworms.
