About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Bushel per Minutes
Cubic foot per Seconds and Bushel per Minutes both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Cubic foot per Seconds is most often used for the standard unit used by the us geological survey for reporting river and stream discharge at gauging stations.
Formula
bushel per minutes = cubic foot per seconds × 48.2138372969
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, and 1 bushel per minutes equals 0.000587317836115 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-bushel per minutes factor of 48.2138372969.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 48.2138373 = 48.2138373 bu/min
1 cubic foot per seconds = 48.2138373 bushel per minutes.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 48.2138373 = 2,892.830238 bu/min
60 cubic foot per seconds = 2,892.830238 bushel per minutes.

What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
