mud

mud
   a traditional Dutch unit of volume for grains and other dry commodities.
   Originally varying from market to market, the unit was declared equal to the hectoliter (about 3.5315 cubic feet or 2.838 U.S. bushels) when the metric system was introduced in the Netherlands. With this definition it is still in use.
