Rick,
I was thinking something as simple as ( just an example )
1006 =5 over 700/ 300 seeds were planted
866mombert=3 over700/ 5 were planted
1061=1 over 700/ 200 planted
Of course making a choice you would have to take into account experience
and climate etc.........but some ratios are going to grab your
attention..........................brock
