A bushel of wheat has about one million wheat kernels and weighs 60 pounds. One bushel of wheat will yield about 42 pounds of white flour which can then be used to make 62-70 loaves of bread or 42 pounds of pasta. After getting some background on wheat in the grain building at Farm to Table Wednesday, student Ethan Barney had one goal: grind as much of the kernels as he could before the time was up.
