-A bushel of green beans weighs approximately 30 pounds,and will cost around $30.00 from a farmer's market. -It takes about 3/4 pounds of beans per pint, so you should get about 40 pints from a bushel. If you grow your own, you only have the cost of seeds (1/4 pound of seeds cost around $2.50.) You could get considerably more than a bushel of beans from 1/4 pounds of seed, but for now assume you only get one bushel. -Average cost for a can of green beans from the store = around $1.25.
Commonly accepted weights in pounds per bushel for fruits and vegetables in Illinois are apples, 42-48; grapes, 44-50; peaches, 48-52; pears, 48-50; green beans, 28-30; cucumbers, 48-50; greens, 18-20; and tomatoes, 50-60. Consumers buying by the pound can convert to bushel prices by using these weights. Other common produce containers for volume sales are pecks, quarts and pints. Most of the pecks of fruit should weight 10-12 pounds, whereas pecks of vegetables are quite variable due to differences in texture and weight of the crop.
