How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total area you want to cover with the cover crop in acres.
  2. Enter the desired seeding rate for the cover crop in pounds per acre (lbs/acre).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the total seeding requirement in pounds.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Total Seeding Requirement (lbs)" field.

Understanding the Inputs

The calculator requires two main inputs:

  • Area (acres): The total area of land that will be planted with the cover crop. This should be in acres.
  • Desired Seeding Rate (lbs/acre): The recommended or desired amount of seed to be used per acre. This can vary depending on the type of cover crop and local recommendations.

Example Calculation

If you want to cover 50 acres with a cover crop and the recommended seeding rate is 20 lbs/acre, the total seeding requirement would be:

50 acres × 20 lbs/acre = 1000 lbs

You would need to purchase 1000 lbs of cover crop seed for this area.
