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.
