50,000 acres is 2 billion sq ft, for a house:land ratio of 1:1 million. The 1:10 in the suburbs is a completely different matter.

- msandford 11y agoThat's a silly comparison to make. 50k acres is 80 square miles, a square nearly 9 miles long on each side. At that point you're going to have dozens of people living either on that land or nearby. Here's an agricultural company that owns 10 combines and some 20+ other trucks and they claim to harvest 1500 acres a day. If you've got a 50k acre farm you're talking spending a full month with those folks harvesting your crop. So that's probably 2-3 dozen people. http://www.frederickharvesting.com/equipment.html http://www.frederickharvesting.com/equipment.html
