You are watching: How many pounds in a bushel of peas
Okay, that is the question. How much does a true bushel of purple hull peas weigh in the hull? down here, most all of the truck patch and U-Pick farmer say a bushel the peas is two 5 gallon buckets full. I"ve additionally heard that a bushel of peas need to weigh roughly 23 pounds. Appears something is not rather right as I have to put virtually 3 buckets in a sack to reach 23 pounds, and also yes, my peas are filled out good.What is the consensus?
I"ve always thought 25 lbs. For peas and also 30 lbs. For butterbeans. I had one fellow involved my u-pick and carefully layed the peas in 5 gallon bucket, pack them down and also got end a bushel in one bucket, ~ this i went from by the bucket come by the pound.
Getting 25 lb into one 5 gal bucket seems difficult to me. I would make more profit utilizing the two-5 gal bucket bushel measurement. The is uneven my scales are means way off. Ns prolly need to examine them.
