In Canada, a bushel is 8 Imperial (British) gallons.
A bushel of wheat weighs about 56 pounds. I think corn (maize) and
soybeans are about the same. A bushel of oats weighs considerably less.

I see this was never answered. A bushel is a
traditional measure of volume here in the states. I
assume we got it from England with the settlers
originally. So how much it would weigh would depend on
what it is you filled it with. It's equal to 8 dry
gallons. Not the same as a liquid gallon, which I
don't really understand and am not going to research
right now. Here's the link - has an amazing amount of
conversions:

A US gallon is 3.79L according to another page on that
same site. A British gallon is larger than ours, tho,
if that's what you're talking about.
