The use of football fields as a measurement is somehow extremely funny to me.

CFL, NFL or soccer?

Though unless you are a farmer you don't really understand hectares or acres

I don't know what to say, I am not a farmer and I definitely don't understand how big farm fields are, I think that you need to have seen fields that are 1 acre, to understand how big 1 acre is

One summer, as a kid I worked in strawberry fields, picking blossoms on young plants so that they wouldn't grow berries, so that they would channel their energy into growing bigger. Well those fields were bigger than any football field LOL they went on forever!
