About This Conversion
Hectares to acres converts European and international land areas into the unit used in the US, UK and Ireland for farms and estates. Multiply by 2.471.
Agricultural subsidies, yields and land prices are all quoted per unit area, so the conversion carries straight into money. A yield of 8 tonnes per hectare is 3.24 tonnes per acre, and comparing a per-hectare figure against a per-acre one without converting overstates productivity by a factor of nearly two and a half.
Two anchors make hectares easier to picture. A full-size football pitch of 105 by 68 metres is about 0.71 hectares, or 1.76 acres, and a square kilometre is exactly 100 hectares, or 247.1 acres. A 50-hectare farm is therefore about 124 acres, roughly seventy football pitches.
