Cu Ft conversion to bushels

Ok, 2 containers each hold 14 Cu FT, how many bushels of oats would that be? I come up with 22.5. Test weight was 36.5. My answer come from the assumption that 1 cu ft = 0.803563 bushels, so 28 (cu ft)x 0.803563,right?
 
Sounds good. 2150.42 cu in =1 bushel. Takes 1728 cu in to be a cu ft, so a cu ft is near 1.245 bu. i.e., roughly 1 & 1/4 bu per cu ft. so 14 cu ft is about 17.5 bu.
 
I didn't read very well. If it is 28 cu ft, then near 35 bu. ( with 1 cu ft being about 1 & 1/4 bu.)
 
A cubic foot is LESS than a bushel not MORE.There are 6. somthing gallons in a cubic foot,it takes 7. something or 8. somthing to make a bushel.Google "how many gallons in a bushel" for the exact numbers.
 
sorry wolfman,but your math is backward.

dave,your figures are correct.

28x0.803563=22.5 bushels
 
you are right. aprox 22.4 bu. it's CuFT X .8 = bushels. there would be an adjustment for test wieght ( about 3 additional bushels)
 
Ok, thanks guys, was just making sure. Selling oats to some horse folks and they store them in old freezers, rather that weighing trucks with sacks and such I figure this was the easiest to know what they are getting.
