WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) The Canadian Grain Commission has released a new online tool to help producers quickly and accurately determine the volume and test weight of their grain.
The test weight calculators for Canadian grains, which are available for free on the Canadian Grain Commission’s website, will make it easier for producers to calculate the test weight of their grain in 3 commonly used units of measurement:
kilogram per hectolitre (kg/hL)
pounds per Avery bushel (lb/bu-A)
pounds per Winchester bushel (lb/bu-W)
The tool also includes calculators to help producers convert tonnes to bushels and determine the volume of grain in bins, piles, and containers.
