A vanity metric is a metric that doesn't mean anything but sounds impressive. "Number of free trial downloads" is a vanity metric when what matters to the business is paying customers.
"Pounds of produce produced by a produce company" is a real metric, not a vanity one -- it's just not that impressive of a number in this case.

Farm area equivalent has some direct relationship with profit and would be allowed. But in that case it would be a tiny farm and show they would be better off spending 1/3 as much on buying land an 30 minuets from the city than going vertical.
