NOTE:
If a specific population of seed is desired, use the Pounds of Seed Per Acre Chart and Rate Chart to determine the approximate transmission speed setting. Seed cart meters are VOLUME meters and not POPULATION meters. The number of seeds planted per acre will vary according to the size of seed.
1.
Determine from seed bag how many seeds equal one pound. Locate value on left-hand column of chart.

2.
Locate under "desired population" the number of seeds wanted per acre in thousands.
3.
Where side column and upper column meet is number of pounds of seed to apply for each acre.
EXAMPLE: When you have 2050 seeds per pound, and you want to plant 190,000 seeds per acre, you will apply 93 pounds of seed per acre.
