Test weight refers to the average weight of a cereal as measured in pounds per bushel (1bu. = 8 gallons or 2150.42 cu. inches). Test weight is an important predictor of milling yield for rice and flour extraction rate for wheat. USDA’s official weight per bushel for the highest grade for major cereals and oilseeds include: wheat and soybeans ...

The modern American or US bushel is rounded to exactly 2150.42 cubic inches, a difference of less than one part per ten million. [ 5 ] In English use, a bushel was a round willow basket with fixed dimensions, and its inside measurements were as follows - base diameter 12 inches, top diameter 18 inches, height 12 inches - thus giving a volume of ...
In agriculture, grain quality depends on the use of the grain.In ethanol production, the chemical composition of grain such as starch content is important, in food and feed manufacturing, properties such as protein, oil and sugar are significant, in the milling industry, soundness is the most important factor to consider when it comes to the quality of grain.
The seed ratio is another way of calculating yields. Cereal yield in tons per hectare and kilograms of nitrogenous fertilizer applied per hectare of cropland. Innovations, such as the use of fertilizer , the creation of better farming tools, and new methods of farming and improved crop varieties have improved yields.
Groats (or in some cases, "berries") are the hulled kernels of various cereal grains, such as oats, wheat, rye, and barley. Groats are whole grains that include the cereal germ and fiber-rich bran portion of the grain, as well as the endosperm (which is the usual product of milling). Groats can also be produced from pseudocereal seeds such as ...
AC Hazlet rye is a fall rye variety that was developed by Canadian breeder Dr. Grant Macleod of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. [1] AC Hazlet rye is a medium-sized fall rye variety whose seed crop is produced and distributed through SeCan, a not-for-profit Canadian commodity crop seed distribution cooperative, and is then grown on a commodity scale in Canada [1]
Soybean meal. Soybean meal is used in food and animal feeds, principally as a protein supplement, but also as a source of metabolizable energy. Typically 1 bushel (i.e. 60 lbs. or 27.2 kg) of soybeans yields 48 lbs. (21.8 kg) of soybean meal. [1] Most soybean meal is defatted, produced as a co-product of soybean oil extraction. [2]
