| To convert seed amount from pounds to Ms or from Ms to pounds |
| M = 1,000 seeds lb = pound SC= seed count (number of seeds per pound) |
| Example 1 pounds to Ms M = (lb x SC) ¸ 1,000 You want 8 pounds of Beet, Moneta, but we sell it in Ms. Beets have about 30,000 seeds per pound. Multiply 8 x 30,000 = 240,000 Divide that number by 1,000 =240 You would want to order 240 M of beet seed. |
| Example 2 Ms to pounds lb = (M ¸ SC) x 1,000 Spinach, Catalina is sold in Ms. You want to know how many pounds there are in 50M. Divide 50 by 40,000 =.00125 Multiply by 1,000 =1.25 You would receive approximately 1.25 pounds of spinach seed. |
