SOYBEAN SEED COUNT PER POUND

   The average number of beans per pound will vary by variety. In addition, the environment that a variety was produced in also affects the size of soybean seeds.

  During the last five years many of the varieties and lot numbers we have sold have approximately 3,000 seeds per pound. To assist in determining your soybean seed needs, we have included the table below as a reference to use when ordering your soybeans.
