Convert agricultural product prices between per kg, per pound, per ton, and calculate total value.
Convert agricultural product prices between per kilogram, per pound, and per metric ton. Calculate total value from unit price and quantity. Essential for comparing international market prices, negotiating contracts, and valuing your harvest. Supports any currency.
A buyer offered you $0.85 per pound for your wheat. You thought that was a good price compared to the $190 per ton you saw on the commodity exchange. But $0.85/lb = $1,874 per ton — the buyer was offering less than 11% of market price. Unit confusion is the oldest trick in agricultural trading. Always convert before signing.
Enter the price and select the unit you are converting from. The calculator instantly converts to all other common units. For grain: 1 bushel of wheat = 27.215 kg, corn = 25.401 kg, soybeans = 27.215 kg. For liquids: 1 US gallon = 3.785 liters, 1 imperial gallon = 4.546 liters.
The price converter helps you compare agricultural commodity prices across different units of weight and volume. It converts between per kg, per ton, per pound, per bushel, per liter, and per gallon. Essential for marketing decisions, comparing offers from different buyers, and understanding international commodity prices quoted in different units.
A: Multiply $/bushel by bushels per ton (which depends on crop test weight). Standard: wheat 36.74 bu/ton, corn 39.37 bu/ton, soybeans 36.74 bu/ton, barley 45.93 bu/ton. Example: wheat at $6.00/bu × 36.74 = $220.44/ton. Or use the shortcut: $/ton = $/bu × (1000 ÷ kg per bushel). Always use actual test weight from your grain for precise conversions, as test weight varies by crop quality and moisture.
A: 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds. To convert $/kg to $/lb: divide by 2.20462. To convert $/lb to $/kg: multiply by 2.20462. Example: $2.20/kg ÷ 2.20462 = $1.00/lb. For rough estimates, multiply $/kg by 0.45 to get $/lb, or multiply $/lb by 2.2 to get $/kg. When comparing international prices, always check whether the quote is per metric ton (1000 kg) or per short ton (907 kg, US) or per long ton (1016 kg, UK).
A: Crop value = Yield (kg/ha or bu/acre) × Price ($/kg or $/bu) × Area (ha or acres). Example: 5 tons/ha wheat × $250/ton × 100 ha = $125,000. Or: 80 bu/acre corn × $4.50/bu × 250 acres = $90,000. Always account for: moisture discounts (grain sold above standard moisture is discounted), quality premiums/discounts (protein, test weight, foreign material), transportation costs to delivery point, and storage costs if you store before selling.
