You want to plant seeds per acre with corn, it is much more fussy than other crops. 19,000 or so in sandy dry soils, 34,000 seeds per acre for top yield great ground good water.
You want about a lb of nitrogen available for every bu of corn you hope to raise. If last year's crop was a legume, like soybeans, clover, or alfalfa, you can cut back on this as a legume supplies some N.
You need some P & K for what the corn removes. It probably will like over 100# of eaCH, BUT YOU CAN GET BY WITH 50-60 OF EACH IF YOUR GROUND IS PRETTY GOOD.
You often can't get enough N put down with the planter, need to put the N down early, or after planting - sidedress.
It would be better to blend together the fertilizer you need for what your soil test shows you need, not a generic 12-12-12. That won't give you enough N, if you want 150-200 bu corn, you need to add about than much N.
