A person who measures or sells goods by the bushel, a unit of dry measurement.
From 'bushel' (a unit of capacity, from Old French 'boisseau') plus the agent suffix '-er', indicating one who works with bushels. The term emerged in medieval times when grain trade required standardized measurements.
Bushelers were incredibly important in medieval and colonial markets because they were trusted officials who verified fair measurements—imagine if every grocery store had a specific person whose job was just to make sure you weren't being cheated on weight!
