For the oil type of sunflower seed, there are 24-32 pounds per bushel. So if a ton equals 2000 pounds, then there are between 83 and 63 bushels per ton of sunflower oilseed.
For the confectionery sunflower seeds (used for food) there are 24 pounds per bushel, so that would be 83 bushels per ton.

Four pecks make up one bushel. So, one peck is equal to 1/4 (or 0.25) bushels.
The Imperial bushel is roughly 3% larger than the American bushel. In the United States there are 36 to 37 bushels per ton of wheat, depending on moisture content, variety, and other factors. So in Australia, there would be 3% fewer bushels, since the bushels are larger. That still works out to about 36 bushels per long ton.
There are 3 bushels in 12 pecks. Since 4 pecks are equivalent to 1 bushel, you would divide 12 pecks by 4 to get 3 bushels.
You can plant 2-3 sunflower seeds in a medium-sized container. Make sure to space them out evenly to allow enough room for growth.
A bushel is a measure of dry volume, that is the volume of a non-liquid substance. It is used particularly in relation to grain commodities (Oats, Barley, Wheat, etc). As the bushel is a specified volume and each grain has a certain density, the actual weight varies between the grains; however, the weight of a bushel of each grain has been standardised (and legislated) for use in the commodity markets, for example one bushel of: Barley - 48 lb, Wheat - 60 lb. But note, that different legislators can define different weights for the same commodity, eg in USA a bushel of Oats is 32 lb, but in Canada it is 34 lb.
