Oats Conversion FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting bushels of oats to tonnes and understanding test weight.
Using the standard US test weight of 32 pounds per bushel, one bushel of oats weighs approximately 0.0145 metric tonnes, or about 14.5 kilograms.
The standard US test weight for oats is 32 pounds per bushel. Actual harvested oats can vary from around 24 to 46 pounds per bushel depending on variety, growing conditions, and moisture content, which is why test weight matters for accurate conversions.
At the standard 32 pounds per bushel test weight, one metric tonne of oats is approximately 68.9 bushels. This figure changes if the actual test weight of the oats differs from the standard.
A bushel is a unit of volume, not weight, so the actual weight of a bushel of oats depends on how densely the grain is packed, which is measured as test weight. Lighter, less dense oats will weigh less per bushel than the standard, so using the correct test weight gives a more accurate tonnage.
