SI UNITS concentration
1 percent N = 10,000 ppm
1 percent N = 10,000 mg/kg
1 percent N = 10,000 ug/g
1 percent N = 10 g/kg
g/kg = percent

Corn (56 lb/bu) Wheat (60 lb/bu)
1Mg/ha = 15.9 bu/ac (corn)
1 Mg/ha = 14.9 bu/ac (wheat)

"It pleases more than bread and beer, more than clothing and ointment.  It is worth more than an inheritance in Egypt, more than a tomb in the west.

Hunger is terrible, he said, holding his hand up to his bandaged head. What man wouldnt steal if hes watching his own children starve to death before his very eyes?
