    Use one price

    Hold the price at a hypothetical $300 per 80,000-seed unit. Keep the example field at 100 acres.

    Compare rates on equal terms

  2. 0:12–0:24

    Start at 30,000

    Divide the seeding rate by seeds per unit, then multiply by unit price.

    $112.50 / acre

  3. 0:24–0:36

    Try 34,000

    An extra 4,000 seeds per acre adds $15 per acre at the same unit price.

    $127.50 / acre

  4. 0:36–0:48

    Compare 38,000

    The next 4,000 seeds add another $15 per acre. These costs do not predict yield or final stand.

    $142.50 / acre
