A table of weights from the secretaries of the different states, showing the number of pounds which their laws recognize as a bushel of different articles. c. 1854 Bushels are now most often used as units of mass or weight rather than of volume. The bushels in which grains are bought and sold on commodity markets or at local grain elevators, and for reports of grain production, are all units of weight.[2] This is done by assigning a standard weight to each commodity that is to be measured in bushels. These bushels depend on the commodities being measured and the moisture content. Some of the more common ones are: Oats USA: 32 lb[2] = 14.5150 kg Canada: 34 lb = 15.4221 kg Barley: 48 lb[2] = 21.7724 kg Malted barley: 34 lb = 15.4221 kg Shelled maize (corn) at 15.5% moisture by weight: 56 lb[2] = 25.4012 kg Wheat at 13.5% moisture by weight and soybeans at 13% moisture by weight: 60 lb[2] = 27.2155 kg Other specific values are defined (and those definitions may vary within different jurisdictions, including from state to state in the United States) for other grains, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, coal, hair, and many other commodities. Government policy in the United States is to phase out units such as the bushel and replace them with metric mass equivalents. The name "bushel" has also been used to translate non-US units of a similar size and sometimes shared origin, like the German "Scheffel". [edit]

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Electronic Ignition - by Staff. Oil, for example has come a long way in the last 50 years and I don't use anything but the latest API grade available. I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
