Test Weight Converter
According to the Canadian Grain Commission, producers should be aware a bushel of wheat in Canada may not be equal to a bushel of wheat in the United States. The Winchester bushel volume is smaller than the British bushel volume that is used to calculate the Avery bushel used in Canada.
If you are selling your grain by contract to a company in the United States, test weights specified in the contract are in pounds per bushel. Usually, this means the Winchester bushel. However, if you get a test weight measurement for your grain at a primary elevator in Canada, it will be in Avery bushels. The difference between the two bushels could mean a loss for you.
