 What are you trying to do? You want to write something like:

 (1 foot / second ^ 2) * 1 year -> c
 0.03208403273801496474

 or

 (.032 c) / (1 foot / second ^2) -> years
 0.9973808548725423151

 etc.

 It does have bushels:

 1 bushel
 0.03523907016688 m^3 (volume)

 The expression you tried previously, eg:

 7 grams c^2 -> bushels TNT

 doesn't work because you are trying to convert something with units
 m^2/kg^2 into something with units m^5/s^2. (a bushel is a volume of
 something, not a mass. )
