There are too many variables to answer this question. It depends on what population density a farmer wishes to plant based on a wide variety of field conditions 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. This means a farmer might plant anywhere between 7 and 32 pounds of seed per acre. This is why US seed companies generally sell seed by the 80,000 seed count bag, even though the individual bag weight might vary greatly. Most farmers will get a little more than two acres planted from each bag.
