One bushel contains exactly 32 dry quarts. This is the USDA standard for grain measurements. This relationship applies to all dry commodities including wheat, corn, soybeans, oats, and barley. Remember: 1 bushel = 32 quarts (exact), not 30 or 35. The 32-quart standard has been consistent since the 1836 US standardization of weights and measures.

Grain is sold and priced by the bushel in commodity markets, but laboratory quality testing uses quart-sized samples. Traders must convert test results from quarts to bushels to determine total shipment value and contract fulfillment. A 500-bushel wheat shipment worth approximately $2,500-3,000 requires accurate quart-to-bushel conversion to prevent significant financial errors in commodity trading.

Dry quarts (used for grain) and liquid quarts (used for milk, water) have different volumes. One dry quart = 1.101 liters; one liquid quart = 0.946 liters. For grain conversions, always use dry quarts. The bushel is defined as 2,150.42 cubic inches, which equals exactly 32 dry quarts. Using liquid quarts creates approximately 16% volume error in grain measurements.

Divide quarts by 32 to get bushels; multiply bushels by 32 to get quarts. Since 32 is a power of 2, this calculation is straightforward: 64 quarts = 2 bushels, 96 quarts = 3 bushels, 128 quarts = 4 bushels. For precise commodity trading, use the exact factor rather than rounding. Many grain elevators use automated systems that perform these conversions instantly.
