The volume of a single grain of salt is roughly .000004 cubic inches, or .00006 cubic centimeters. Please note that these are fairly rough numbers, both because the size of salt grains varies considerably, and because I calculated it by lining up four grains, measuring their length with a common house-hold ruler, divided the length by four, then cubed it. I also truncated the final answers because there is absolutely no way that my measurements had more than one significant digit. Still, the estimates are roughly accurate.

a GRAIN is a unit of measure for mass or weight. 1 GRAIN = 1/7000 lb (or 64.78 grams). A ml (milliliter) is a unit of measure for volume. 1 ml = 61/1000 cubic inches (or 1 cubic centimeter)
The simple answer is 48.212 bu. This is found by finding the volume in cubic feet. 2 x 10 x 3 = 60 cu. ft. Divide this by the amount of cu. ft. per bushel (1.2445 cu ft/bu) = 60 / 1.2445 = 48.212 bu. Now this may be true for water, it would probably not be true for grain. Grain will not flow evenly into all the space of the wagon and will be able to peak above the top of the wagon. The volume of the peak in bu will be dependent on the moisture of the grain, the grain type and other factors. Clear as mud right?
(1/8) grain = 8.09986375 milligrams FYI: Google "convert 1/8 grain to milligrams"
It depends on grain size, which can be as small as 0.004 inch or as big as 0.1 inch. If we take an average grain size of 0.02 inch diameter that is 0.00000043 cubic inch volume and a cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches then (not considering packing voids) that is 1728/.000000 = 4 billion grains!
well 1000 grain is 2.8 rough estimate of 1000 grain so around 70 dollars to sell making a 5 through 7 dollar profit
