According to the chart at Dickey John's Seed Conversion, I am planting around 34,465. I'm approximately 9.1" between seeds on 20" rows. I fertilized the equivalent of 330 pounds of 12-12-12 and 83 pounds of Urea. I don't harvest any so row spacing isn't a problem. Ground is sandy loam. Yield should approach 123-125 bu/a, at least on paper. Most food plot books I read recommend 8-13 pounds per acre. My seed runs 1920/pound, so that would be about 19,200-25,000 population on 40" rows. Am I planting too heavy or doesn't it matter as long as the nutrients/water are there?
