To plant an acre of field peas, you typically need about 80 to 120 pounds of seed, depending on the specific variety and desired plant density. This equates to approximately 100 to 150 plants per square meter. It's important to consider factors such as soil quality and local climate conditions, which can influence the exact amount needed. Always check local agronomic guidelines for the best results.
According to a study by the North Central Research Extension Center at Minot, North Dakota you can expect a yield of about 46 bushels or 2,800 pounds of field peas cultivated specifically to be eaten. Cultivated as fallow plant you can expect almost 3,500 pounds, perhaps 50-55 bushels. Source: see related link below. Check the section on adaptation
To plant purple hull peas, you typically want to sow about 60 to 80 pounds of seed per acre. This equates to approximately 1.5 to 2 bushels of seed, depending on the specific variety and desired plant density. It's important to space the seeds adequately, usually around 1 to 2 inches apart in rows that are 30 to 36 inches apart. Proper planting density can help maximize yield and ensure healthy growth.

A bushel of field peas in the shell typically weighs about 28 pounds. Since a standard 5-gallon bucket can hold approximately 25-30 pounds of field peas when full, it would take about 1 to 1.2 buckets to equal a bushel, depending on the exact weight and density of the peas in the bucket.
