A bushel is an imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 4 pecks or 8 gallons. It is used for volumes of dry commodities (not liquids), most often in agriculture. It is abbreviated as bsh. or bu. The name derives from the 14th century buschel or busschel, a box.

- Bushel shares his design, mane colors, cutie mark, and hat design with S04E22 Unnamed Earth Stallion #6, his design, eye color, and hat with S04E22 Unnamed Earth Stallion #5, his design and eye color with "Apple Slice", his coat and mane colors with Perfect Pie and "Apple Squash", and his coat and eye colors with Half Baked Apple, and he has a similar color scheme to Sandalwood.

- One Bushel was a measurement of rice. Approximately five bushels were considered enough to feed a man for a year, and were worth one koku.
- Once used, the effect of the bushel lasts for only 2 hours.
- Bushels are now most often used as units of mass or weight rather than of volume. The bushels in which grains are bought and sold on commodity markets or at local grain elevators, and for reports of grain production, are all units of weight. This is done by assigning a standard weight to each commodity that is to be measured in bushels. These bushels depend on the commodities being measured and the moisture content. Some of the more common ones are: The name "bushel" has also been used to translate non-US units of a similar size and sometimes shared origin, like the German "Scheffel".

- Bushels are now most often used as units of mass or weight rather than of volume. The bushels in which grains are bought and sold on commodity markets or at local grain elevators, and for reports of grain production, are all units of weight. This is done by assigning a standard weight to each commodity that is to be measured in bushels. These bushels depend on the commodities being measured and the moisture content. Some of the more common ones are:
* Oats
* USA: 32 lb = 14.51495584 kg
* Canada: 34 lb = 15.42214058 kg
* Barley: 48 lb = 21.77243376 kg
* Malted barley: 34 lb = 15.42214058 kg
* Shelled maize (corn) at 15.5% moisture by weight: 56 lb = 25.40117272 kg
* Wheat at 13.5% moisture by weight and soybeans at 13% moisture by weight: 60 lb = 27.2155422 kg Other specific values are defined (and those definitions may vary within different jurisdictions, including from state to state in the United States) for other grains, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, coal, hair, and many other commodities. Under the America COMPETES Act, the United States is to phase out units such as the bushel and replace them with the metric system as used for all purposes in the rest of the world, and for all scientific and technical purposes world wide. It is therefore important to know how the bushel relates to the metric equivalent, and whether the bushels are used as units of mass or units of volume. The name "bushel" has also been used to translate non-US units of a similar size and sometimes shared origin, like the German "Scheffel".
