How many 5 gallon pails are in a ton of barley?

The number of 5-gallon pails in a ton of barley depends on the weight of the barley and the volume of the pail. Barley typically weighs about 48 pounds per bushel, and there are approximately 56 pounds in a bushel, which translates to roughly 2,000 pounds in a ton. A 5-gallon pail can hold about 37.5 pounds of barley when filled. Therefore, there would be approximately 53 pails in a ton of barley (2,000 pounds ÷ 37.5 pounds per pail).
