What is the standard weight (lbs) per bushel of rye?

The correct answer is: 56

The standard weight of rye is 56 pounds per bushel. This weight is established to create a consistent measurement that can be used across various agricultural practices, trade, and commerce. The bushel is a unit of volume that is commonly used for measuring agricultural products, including grains like rye. While other grains may have different standard weights—such as corn or wheat—the standardization for rye at 56 pounds promotes uniformity in market transactions and helps farmers, merchants, and consumers understand the value and quality of the product being purchased or sold. Understanding these standards is crucial for anyone involved in agronomy, as it impacts everything from pricing to storage and handling practices for the grain.
