It is amazing that people would go out of their way to do it as difficult as possible, take the chance at making a costly error and waste time and money going back and forth between units that don't need to be used. You wrote that you seen it done in tons of different types, but then where do all those bushels come in? Why is it necessary to quote prices in bushels? Who benefits from this? The US government propaganda mill keeps telling the world that Americans have the highest rate of productivity in the world. I don't see how with this type of wastage. John
