In 7" rows, 2.2 plants per foot of row will work out to about 168,000 plants per acre which is plenty. You'll have a good deal more than that which may cause some lodging. Soybeans do a lot of adjusting. I like to think of them as "smart plants". But there is a limit. Too late to do anything about it now. It'll be a good experiment. Let us know how it works out.

Some of my friends who plant in the thousands of acres cut their planting rates back to 150,000 seeds per acre this year. I'm watching.
