These are the standard weights per bushel used in Canada to convert bushels and tonnes (as used by Statistics Canada and the Canadian Grain Commission). A tonne here is a metric tonne (1,000 kg, about 2,204.6 lb). Your buyer may settle on a different weight, a measured test weight or deductions for dockage and moisture - check your contract. Prices are what you type in; nothing is stored or sent anywhere. Need other units? Try the farm unit converter.
