Unit 4, Assignment A

Using the “Forage Crop Seed Mixture Formulation” reading choose your own grazing mixture from the pasture forage species studied thus far and calculate your forage crop seed mixture. (For reference study the example calculations from the reading to help you)

View the example below: (This table/calculation is what you need to turn in) To make a table in Microsoft Word choose the “Insert” tab and then choose “Table.” Insert 6 columns and 7 rows like the example.

Steps:

1.     List species to be planted in column 1

2.     List percent of composition that is desired in column 2

3.     Get column 3 data from table 4 in the reading

4.     Complete column 4 by multiplying column 2 and 3 for each species you chose

5.     For column 5 list # of seeds/square foot/pound of seed planted for each species. Get data from table 3 in the reading.

6.     Complete column 6 by dividing column 4 by 5. This will equal you PLS seeding rate/acre for each species you listed.

7.     Total column 6. This is your total PLS seeding rate/acre.
