It depends on how your beans are planted.
In 7.5" rows a square foot would work. In 30" rows you would be better off measureing off a 30" by 30" square.
A more accurate way would be to count the beans in a 1/1000 of an acre.
In 30" rows that would mean you would count the beans on the ground from one row 17.5 feet long. For 15" rows it would be about 35 feet of row.
Or count half the length I mentioned above and take it times 2000.
So if you count 100 beans in 8"9" on 30" rows that would mean 200,000 beans per acre. There are about 3000 seeds per pound, so your loss would be about 70 lbs. an acre.
Takes a lot of beans on the ground to make a big loss.
