it depends on the moisture content, but at 13% moisture a bushel of soybeans weighs 60 pounds.
A bushel of soybean is standardized at 60 pounds, so 40 bushels are 2,400 pounds or 1,089 kilograms, about a tonne.
For soybeans, you don't even need a converter, sites like the one below display the price both by the bushel or the tonne (metric ton). But if you need one, you can just multiply the dollar price per bushel by 36.743 to get the price per tonne. Soybean meal is not sold by the bushel, which is an unit of volume for crops only, i.e. soybeans, not processed products which are sold by weight. A bushel of soybeans is standardized at 60 pounds, but there is no such standardization for soybean meal.
Bushels are now most often used as units of mass or weight rather than of volume!!!! Wheat and Corn are measured by the Bushel! One Bushel of Wheat is equal to 27.21829069134458 Kilos! One Bushel of Corn is equal to 25.39998628400741 Kilos!

A bushel of soybean (60 pounds) currently (August 2012) sells for around $16-17. Non GMO food grade soybean (yellow hilum) sold for a $2.15 premium but yield is usually lower. It is a very volatile market that changes from day to day, and we don't have the data on the 2012 crop yet, the U.S. drought seems to have ended so there will probably be no shortage and no spiked prices. Prices in January 2012 were around $12 per bushel.
