So I have been in the combine too long! Thinking too much again. Here is what popped in my head today. Lets say we plant our beans and get a final stand of 180,000 seeds/acre. If there are 2500 seeds in a pound we planted 72 pounds to the acre, well actually more but that is what came up anyways... bear with me here. So that is 1.2 bushels to the acre. So if each plant represents a seed, and it does! Technically if each plant beared one bean we would get back what we planted or 1.2 bushels per acre. Now if each plant bears say 50 pods with 2 seeds in each pod that is 100 beans per plant and that should equate to 120 bushels per acre minus a loss of say 10 bushels so we should have at least 100 bushels. So is my math wrong or are we losing beans somewhere? I can't figure what isn't adding up! Will post some pictures if I can remember to grab the camera. Put it in the pickup this morning but forgot to put it in the cab with me.
