Enter the total weight of the cover (lbs) and the total area (acres) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Cover Crop Rate. 

Cover Crop Rate Formula

CCR = TC / A

Variables:

  • CCR is the Cover Crop Rate (lbs/acre)
  • TC is the total weight of the cover (lbs)
  • A is the total area (acres)

To calculate the Cover Crop Rate, divide the total weight of the cover by the total land area.

How to Calculate Cover Crop Rate?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Cover Crop Rate.

  1. First, determine the total weight of cover (lbs). 
  2. Next, determine the total area (acres). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = CCR = TC / A.
  4. Finally, calculate the Cover Crop Rate.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total weight of cover (lbs) = 758

total area (acres) = 200
