80,000 Kernel Units
Ruff's hybrid seed corn is packaged in
approximately 80,000 kernel units. The
80,000 count bags may vary in weight
with the kernel size from 34 to 60
pounds. Any seed sizes that would make
an 80,000 kernel unit over 60 pounds
will be divided into two 40,000 kernel
units.
How to determine Amount of Seed
Needed
With a known
kernel drop goal, the number of 80,000
kernel units needed to plant a given
acreage can be determined from the Table
below. Read down the left column to
approximate number of kernels dropped
per acre, then across the column to the
nearest acreage. For acreages not shown
on the Table, divide the number of acres
to be planted by the number in the left
column to get the number of units
needed. All figures have been rounded
and are approximate.
