Northern Nebraska | You don't sell volume bushels you sell pounds in units that are still called bushels for stupid reasons.
Oats are sold in 34lb units . Corn in 56lb units.
All of this confusion would go away if we just priced by the hundred weight or ton.
Edit added.
You had 6312 more pounds on the corn load. Corn is more dense than oats are hence why they have different "bushel" weights. The more dense a material the more you can get in a given volume. The same reason why a cubic foot of quartz sand weighs 75 lbs and a cubic foot of solid quartz weighs 165 lbs. A cubic foot is a cubic foot. But density is different.
There is more to test weight than just density but that's an entirely different argument.
