C.5.13 Select the method of calibration to be used. Since the vibration of drill and seed tubes in the field affect rate of seeding, it is preferable to calibrate in the field under typical use conditions including speed of travel.(# @ Optional notes to designer: Base the count on the average of at least three, five-foot sections of drill row. Compare the average number of seeds drilled with the number the specified seeding rate provides. Take into account the particular row spacing being used. Make the necessary adjustments in the drill setting and repeat the operation until the specified seeding rate is obtained.(#  @Option 3 notes to designer: The following formula may be used in calibrating a drill in the field:(# @Lb/acre of seed planted =  43,560 x lb seed collected T d   Drill width in ft x strip length in ft  d  @ A good rule of thumb is one set of drills will use about a sack (50 lb) of crested wheatgrass seed an hour at 3mph. This will give approximately 7 lb/acre. Time would have to be adjusted if a different rate were desired.(#  @When there is trouble in calibration of a drill, look at the slack in the feed-roll cups and gate. Often this can be taken up. Loosen the nuts on the bottom of the cups and adjust the cups so that the rollers are exposed the same distance.(# 23.
