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).

What do you do about a tick infestation on several acres?
Q. I have almost 5 acres no dogs for 3 years now. But we have a hugh tick infestation. We can't even do any thing to the land cause if you get out of the vehicle there are 30 ticks on you immediately. There are some flattened out areas that the deer look to being laaying down in. What can I do to get rid of them? Am I just going to have to wait until winter sets in? But then what of next year?

Why are my 7 acres of pumpkins wilting?
Q. We have 20 acres of pumpkins doing great in one of our feilds. But our other feild of 7 acres of pumpkins are wilting. They are pretty early and have not even begun to flower yet. We cannot find any sign of bugs, beetles, or powdery mildew. We are doing the exact same watering as in the other feild. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is it possible that something is wrong with the soil in this particular feild? Should we hurry and fertalize? Any advice would be very appreciated!

A. Contact your soil conservation district, run by the state university. But don't wait, do it as soon as possible. They should give you needed information. That is their job providing information for farmers. Good luck on your crop.
