Etymology

The term 'bushel' originates from the Old French word 'boissiel,' which meant 'a measure of grain.' Its use dates back to the 14th century when it became a standard unit of measurement in England for various commodities, particularly grains. Historical texts show that the bushel was standardized to provide consistency in trade and agricultural practices. Over the years, the bushel has evolved in its definition and measurement, adapting to different commodities and regional practices. In the United States, the bushel is defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and has specific volumes associated with it, reinforcing its importance in commerce and agriculture. The unit's significance has persisted, making it a common term in discussions about farming yields and produce markets.
