One first needs to know what crop is to be planted, since the amount of seed needed varies so widely. If one is planting beans, you might need as much as 50 pounds of seed per acre. If, on the other hand, you want to plant oregano, you will need only about 4 ounces of seed per acre.

Normally, a producer will decide how many acres of a crop he wishes to produce, multiply times number of plants per acre he wishes to have, factor by the seed germination percentage, then divide by the typical number of seeds per pound for that species, allowing for a small percentage extra for safety.

How much pasture needed for 1 cow?

A ranch typically holds anywhere between 100 and 500,000 cattle (or more). Depending on what size ranch you are talking about, since a ranch can be any size from 50 acres to 100,000 acres, more or less, I would guess than an average number for all ranches in North America is 1,000 head of cattle.
