They don't equal each other; it will depend on what it is we are measuring.
Wheat has 60 lbs US per bu.
It is common to plant 2 bu (120lbs) of wheat per acre here.
Fertilizer depends on your soil tests; see what you have available to start with, to know where you need to get to. Each crop has different needs.
First, find out the ph of your soil. Low ph soils will tie up any P,K or N you add, and your plants still won't get it. If your ph is too high, then you need to look at P & K differently and figure out how to make them available. If your soil is low ph, add lime to bring it up. That will make a lot of fert in the soil available, and or allow added fert to be used by the plants.
Then, what yield (for wheat, in your case) are you trying to get? Based on soil type & rainfall available.
There are charts & some figering to see what you need from the above info to know what to put down. There is no 'one size fits all' number for fertilizer.
If this is a small hobby plot, if you know your soil ph and about what you hope to get for yield, you can add a 'removeal rate' of fert and probably be pretty close.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
