a bushel is 56 lb
Thirty five pounds of shelled peas per bu of unshelled. Approx 8 quarts per bu of shelled peas from a bu of unshelled.
56 lb
According to the folks at the local Farmer's Market a bushel of shelled peas is 10lbs or should I say that's what they sell it as.
37.27 quarts Given that 37.27 quarts does indeed make a bushel of peas, there is another point of view that needs to be considered. If you are purchasing peas directly from a farmer, you normally buy them unshelled. A bushel of unshelled peas will not give you 37.27 quarts after you shell them, far from it. Normally you can expect only about a gallon of peas (4 quarts) after shelling a bushel of peas. If however the farmer is generous, you might actually get 5 to 6 quarts. This is what is called a 'round' bushel. That is, heaped until peas fall out of a bushel basket.
2 1/2 quarts = 5 pounds
About $12.
Everyone thing I find says 2 lbs and a pint is 1 lbs hope this helps Everyone
It takes about 7.5 pounds of peas to make a bushel of peas. This means that it takes about 1 1/2 five gallon buckets of peas to make a whole bushel of peas.
I'm not sure about a gallon but I am currently growing purple hull peas and I have been selling then by the bushel and have been getting $18 for unshellled and $22 for shelled. Some people in my area (Alabama) have been getting as much as $24 and $25 a bushel. Hope this helps......Lori :)
Check out this website: http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/bushels.html I would think purple hull peas should be around the same as field peas. If I find out differently, I will come back and try to correct this entry.
