bushelsful

Large dry quantities

Bushelsful is the plural of bushelful—multiple quantities each measuring a bushel, a unit of dry volume used for grain, fruit, and produce.

Like spoonfuls or cupfuls, it emphasizes separate measurements: three bushelsful of apples from different orchards.

The alternative form bushelfuls is also common.
