    Default QUESTION
    I'm looking at a spot to do my first food plot and I just got my soil sample back. How do I determine if the area I picked out is a acre, 1/2 acre,etc?

    Well obviously you'd have to measure the size of your area for planting. You can do a rough measurement by the ol' foot step, measuring tape/wheel, or the easiest way would be with a range finder. 1 acre is 4,840 sq yards.
