Enter the total yield in pounds, the area in acres, and the bushel weight to determine the bushels per acre. This calculator helps farmers and grain producers estimate the productivity of their fields.
Bushels Per Acre Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the bushels per acre.
BPA = {Y}/{BW *A}Variables:
- BPA is the bushels per acre
- Y is the total yield in pounds
- BW is the bushel weight in pounds per bushel
- A is the area in acres
To calculate the bushels per acre, divide the total yield in pounds by the product of the bushel weight and the area in acres.
What is Bushels Per Acre?
Bushels per acre is a unit of measurement commonly used in agriculture to express crop yield. It represents the number of bushels of a particular crop that can be produced on one acre of land. This measurement is crucial for farmers to understand the productivity of their fields and to make informed decisions about crop management and marketing.
How to Calculate Bushels Per Acre?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Bushels Per Acre.
- First, determine the total yield (Y) in pounds.
- Next, determine the area (A) in acres.
- Next, determine the bushel weight (BW) in pounds per bushel.
- Next, gather the formula from above = BPA = Y / (BW * A).
- Finally, calculate the Bushels Per Acre (BPA).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total yield (Y) = 20000 pounds
area (A) = 10 acres
bushel weight (BW) = 60 pounds per bushel
