Depends on what it is. bushel is traditionally a measurement of volume-approx an 8 gallon container, however for most common commodities, a standard weight is assigned for each one and used in that country for trade. Ex-Oats=32# for 1 bushel, Barley-48#, Malted Barley-34#, Wheat/Soybeans=60#, etc. etc. For wheat and soybeans weight is only valid for a certain specified moisture content of the product itself (which adds to the weight when increased) Conversion to pounds would depend on contents and wether there is already a standard assigned for those contents. if not weigh would have to be agreed upon between those doing business for the item in question to set a standard and would be approximate, as there is also an acceptable tolerance (plus or minus) for each bushel.

How do you figure out how many pounds are in a bushel?

Refer to a matter density table or fill a bushel container & then weigh it.===Weight versus volumeA recurring problem -- an incessant, nagging, chronic one -- is the confusion people have with weight and volume. They are NOT the same. Weight is an indirect measure of mass, whereas volume is an direct measure of space. Think of it this way: a pound of feathers and a pound of rocks have the same weight (which means they have the same mass, since weight is a function of mass, and they therefore represent the same amount of matter -- stuff!) But they do not occupy the same volume. Clearly, a pound of feathers will take up way more space than a pound of rocks.Or think of it THIS way: If you have a shoe box filled with feathers and an identical shoe box filled with rocks, which will weigh more? Clearly, the box of rocks. Both the feathers and the rocks occupy the same volume -- a shoe box -- but the box of rocks has greater mass and, hence, greater weight.Which brings us -- tada! -- to a bushel. A bushel is a unit of volume, just like a shoe box is. If you have a bushel of feathers, it will weigh less than a bushel of rocks -- or a bushel of corn, or a bushel of buckwheat, or a bushel of apples. In other words, you are going to have to find a table that shows how much a bushel of whatever it is you have weighs, because a bushel of each substance will weigh something different.

A bushel of crabs is how many pounds?

A bushel and a pound are two different measurements! While both are generally dry units of measurements the bushel is used mostly in agriculture. A bushel of wheat and a bushel of corn have two different weights as do apples and oranges, where as a pound is a pound. The only way you're going to figure out the weight of a bushel of crabs is to cram as many crabs into a bushel basket as you can (good luck with that) and weigh it. Then again it depends on the type of crabs as well.
