Subject: RE: Figuring seed needed.


If you know what you want your spacing to be and want to find what your seeds/acre will be this link should take you to a calculator that will figure that. ( I think you will have to copy and paste it because it did not want to show up as a link)

Once you know seeds/acre you would just convert to lbs/acre, I would use 12,000 seeds/lb as an average on sorghum.

I am not sure what part of Kansas you are in but it sounds like your Cargill guy is a little high on his population, we are in the central part of the state and generally shoot for a final stand of around 25,000, this is using hybrids that will tiller well and we plant early enough that they will tiller, if this is for after wheat harvest then you would want to bump your pop. higher.
