Values of modulus of elasticity E of wheat and rapeseed beds were determined with method adopted from geotechnique and based on measurement of shear wave velocity. Tests were performed for bedding of wheat and rapeseed under equilibrium moisture content. Values of modulus of elasticity for wheat obtained in a range from 23.6 to 88.1 MPa and those for rapeseed (from 26.3 to 67.0 MPa) were found to depend on hydrostatic pressure and were higher then those determined in uniaxial compression test.
