Field and farm calculators

Measure the field, then work out what it takes to farm it.

What this means in the United States

American farmland is measured in acres and always has been: the Public Land Survey grid that covers most of the country cuts a section of 640 acres into quarters of 160 and forties of 40, which is why field size here is a survey fact before it is a measurement. The United States has no federal ceiling on nitrogen per acre, so this edition prints a state extension recommendation range instead of a legal limit, and says which it is.

A figure this page computes rather than quotes: 1 ac = 43,560 ft².
