Be careful with that coated seed. Years ago calibrated drill with coated seed and off to the field I went. Didn’t realize it until it was too late…..the coating began to slowly build up on the flutes, consequently choking down the rate. Was a mess. No more seed coat here. Maybe it’s better today. That was probably 30 years ago.
And like another said, figure pure live seed when figuring out rate.
