I plant a bag (approx. +/-) per acre from 50 lbs bags. dunno how many ina bag, on 30 in rows. this is a bit thicker than most do. but has always given me great stands.

i'm thinking that your needs are about the same as drilling populations. takes more seeds than 30 inch populations, but will only yield as much as 30 inch. most all farmers I've talked to in NE and IA used to drill the beans, and most have gone back to 30 in rows as the yields are the same or better on 30 inch than drilled and using less seed doing it. only thing I can see with drilled or narrower rows is they do combine better cutting at an angle.
