To determine the approximate lb. per acre rate for a given number of beans per ft., refer to the chart.
Example:
Suppose you wish to plant an average of approximately 10 beans per ft. on 965 mm (38 in.) rows. Your soybean seed is determined to be about 4200 seeds per lb.
Checking the chart under 965 mm (38 in.) rows, 10 beans per ft. will require a rate of approximately 33 lb. per acre.

Refer to the SMALL SOYBEANS-HIGH RANGE chart. For 965 mm (38 in.) rows, a 20-tooth driver and 28-tooth driven sprocket will give you approximately 34 lb. per acre.
Remember that the rates in the chart are based on a uniform seed size sample of approximately 4200 seeds per lb. and should be used only as a starting point for determining the actual planting rate.
The actual rate MUST be checked in the field at the desired planting speed. ( See CHECKING SEED POPULATION section.)
