Why not use metric volumes instead of bushel? You'd have the same conversion issues converting bushel to imperial weights.

- danielbarla 14y agoWell, at some point, that part of the world decided that they'd use weight to measure produce, as opposed to volume. So now, if you read a scientific paper from Europe, you will get numbers in KG, likely with no indication of moisture content (since they don't particularly care). So, you're left with an inaccurate conversion to bushels, or more likely, you simply don't use the paper. The same goes for the other way around; there's probably a whole lot of rework that happens due to this incompatibility.
- Tichy 14y agoI get the problem, my point was just that it is unrelated to the issue of imperial vs metric system.
