wow.... marai corn the seeds and such catalog is way more expensive than paydirt at 25.00 a pound. paydirt is a bargain comparatively. it is very confusing to buy seeds and compare prices when you are comparing seed count to weight. the marai in the seedsnsuch appears to be about 52.00 a pound (3200 seeds). that is a lot of money to buy 1# of seed. You need to know exactly how many seeds you are planting in each row x the # of rows to purchase by count. unless you have a precision planter ( which ideally spaces the seed at 9" apart) that you invested thousands of dollars in that is not a very accurate way to estimate the amount of seed you need. earthway planters don't plant seeds that accurately, for the home gardener it isn't as important. thinning isn't an acres or more worth of corn to go through.
