Thumb of Michigan
15-16# of actual seed, after no-till discount.
Eg. 20# of 10% coating seed, equals 18# actual seed, 10% no-till loss (they say figure 10=20%) equals 16# of seed. Would probably use 27# of coated seed (27 x 0.66 x 0.85 = ~16#).
Neighbor works ground up, culipacs, broadcasts 25# of 34% coated seed, culipacs again and has good results.
