1 U.S. bushel = 8 dry gallons = 2150,42 cu in ≈ 35,2391 litre ≈ 9,30918 liquid gallons.
So if we measure water: 1 litre of water weighs 1kg (at 4 degrees Celsius)
(One liter is composed of 1000 cubic centimeters (cc) . One cc, which is also the same as a milliliter of water weighs one gram. Therefore, a liter of water weighs one kilogram.)
and one bushel is 35,2391 litres, therefore one bushel of water weighs 35,2391 kilograms. Which is 35239,1 grams.
(do notice I use the comma here in European way to separate the units from partial units, it is not a marker for thousands)
