The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the imperial and U.S. customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre.

One international acre is equal to 4,046.8564224 m. One U.S. survey acre is equal to ⁄15,499,969 m = 4,046.8726098 m.

The area of one acre (red) overlaid on an American football field (green) and Association football field (blue).

One acre comprises 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet (which can be easily remembered as 44,000 square feet, less 1%; or as the product of 66 x 660). Because of alternative definitions of a yard or a foot, the exact size of an acre also varies slightly. Originally, an acre was understood as a selion of land sized at one furlong (660 ft) long and one chain (66 ft) wide; this may have also been understood as an approximation of the amount of land an ox could plow in one day. A square enclosing one acre is approximately 208 feet and 9 inches (63.6 meters) on a side. But as a unit of measure an acre has no prescribed configuration; any perimeter enclosing 43,560 square feet is an acre in size.

The acre is often used to express areas of land. In the metric system, the hectare is commonly used for the same purpose. An acre is approximately 40% of a hectare.

One acre is 90.75 percent of a 53.33-yard-wide American football field. The full field, including the end zones, covers approximately 1.32 acres (0.53 ha).

Can you feed goats PurinaMills Country Acres All Stock grain?
Q. I just got two goats for pets and to keep my Miniature Horse company. I feed good quality grass or Timothy hay to each of them as well as PurinaMills Country Acres All Stock grain to my mini. Can that same grain be fed to the goats. One goat is a dairy breed and the other is a meat breed. Both wethers. The goats seem to like it and the bag says "All Stock", so I was just wondering. Thanks.

A. Since it says all stock, I wouldn't see why you couldn't. But I can't find it on the purina mills website either. You may be able to email or call Purina Mills and ask. Its better to be safe than sorry. We use goat feed for our goats.

Would it be profitable to grow pomegranates on 3 acres of land?
Q. We have three acres of land, that we would like to farm. We are interested in pomegranates.
Asked by lurobs3 - Sun Jul 5 20:16:46 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You have to answer some questions. How close can pomegranates be grown together. This will tell you how many trees you can have in yoru grove. You will also have to check on climates that are best and soil composition that is best for pomegranates. costs of fertilizers and irrigation if it is not readily available or if you have to pay for water. As well as how long will trees have to grow before bearing fruit. It could be years. Then how many fruit per tree and the cost of harvesting them, and bringing them to market. Then you will have to guess on the demand and price for pomegranets years in the future. Unlike crops, once you plant a tree you can not change what type of fruit it bears, where crops can be changed and rotated in a… [cont.]

Q. My family own 30 acres in rural Louisiana, what is the best way to generate money w/o selling the land? A relative passed away a few years ago and left us this. It is riverfront to the Quachita river. I am looking for ideas and suggestions to what the best way to earn money through the use of this land. I figure what better way to brainstorm than to ask the world on here ^.^

A. First, check with the county to see what the land can legally be used for. Then you could build on it and rent out the properties, or rent the land itself (ex., for a mobile home park). Contact an agent who specializes in commercial real estate to get more ideas.
