Probably not, unless the seed is extremely small in size. 12 pounds of normal size seed is only going to be about 18,000 seeds, and you really need at least 25,000 seeds for the crop to be truly successful.

Most farmers in the U.S. plant field corn by the seed count, not by the bushel. However, since most farmers plant somewhere around 30,000 seeds per acre, you can figure the bushels thus: 30,000 seeds divide by 2,000 seeds per pound equals about 15 pounds divided by 56 pounds of corn per bushel equals about 1/4 bushel per acre. There are a great many factors, including seed germination percentage, which could change that figure.
92.344 pounds of protein per acre. As a side note, a US farmer who is producing only 5,432 pounds of corn per acre will not be in business very long, since that is only 97 bushels per acre. In 2010, US farmers will need to average over 170 bushels per acre just to break even on input costs.
Depends on a lot of factors- but the average yield of well cultivated corn is 160 bushels per acre. A bushel of shelled, dried corn is 56 lbs. That is 8960 pounds, or about 4.48 tons.
Corn takes between one to two gallons per plant on a weekly basis. An acre of corn take 350,000 gallons of water over the 100 day growing cycle.
If you are asking how many acres 100 pounds of corn seed will plant, there are too many variables to answer this question. It depends on what population density a farmer wishes to plant and the number of seeds per pound. Farmers plant anywhere from 28,000 seeds per acre to as high as 40,000 seeds per acre, and seed counts can range from 1,250 seeds per pound to as high as 4,000 seeds per pound.
It depends on how long the rows are. For example, you can plant one row 14,520 feet long or you can plant 70 rows 207.5 feet long or you can plant 1,452 rows 10 feet long. They will each be one acre.
It depends on the planted and surviving population in the field, but the US average is around 30,000 plants per acre. Some growers are experimenting with higher populations of about 40,000 plants per acre, but it's not common yet.
An acre is a constant unit of measurement - an acre of anything is equal to an acre of anything else.
The average yield of corn per acre in Pennsylvania is approximately 150 bushels. The average soybean yield is 40 bushels per acre.

Corn is produced by the plant called Zea mays. It is a type of grain plant that is cultivated for its edible seeds, which are commonly known as corn or maize.
