Protein Basis Conversion

Dry matter basis ↔ any moisture basis
Converted protein
Enter 0 for dry matter basis. Formula: P×(100−mto)/(100−mfrom). E.g. 13.0 DMB = 11.57 @ 11%mb.

Test Weight

lb/bu (US) ↔ kg/hl
Factor 1.287 (US Winchester bushel). 60 lb/bu ≈ 77.2 kg/hl; 76 kg/hl ≈ 59.1 lb/bu.

Blend
Mass-weighted average — fill only the specs you need. E.g. 500 t @ 10.5% + 1,000 t @ 13.0% = 1,500 t @ 12.17%. Protein doesn't always blend perfectly linearly.

Yield

t/ha ↔ bu/ac by commodity
Handy for reading USDA reports against Australian yields. Wheat: 1 t/ha ≈ 14.87 bu/ac.
