Convert cubic meter to U.S. bushel

The bushel is a grain measure, 35.24 l in the US and 36.37 l in the imperial system, and US commodity markets still trade wheat, corn and soybeans by the bushel, taken as 60 lb of wheat or 56 lb of corn. The cord is firewood: a stack 4 ft high, 4 ft deep and 8 ft long, 128 cubic feet or 3.62 m³. The acre-foot, the water needed to cover an acre a foot deep (1,233 m³), is the unit of reservoirs and water rights in the western US.

A cubic metre is 1,000 litres, also called a kilolitre on Australian water bills. Water meters count in it: one person uses roughly 45–55 m³ a year. Gas meters count cubic metres too, and the bill converts them to kilowatt-hours at about 10–11 kWh per m³. Removals and freight think in cubic metres as well, a 20-foot container holding 33 m³ and a concrete mixer truck 8 m³. The hectolitre, 100 l, is the unit of brewers and winemakers: breweries report output in hl and vineyards their yields in hl per hectare.
