I dont know, but if you set it up right you better get some sales lined up to local homebrew clubs and/or micrbreweries. I would be willing to bet that an acre of land would produce many pounds of hops.

1500 to 2300 lbs per acre on a commercial type operation

How many plants are we talking an acre?

Depends on plant spacing and trellis setup.

About 900 plants per acre. About 2 lbs dry hops per mature plant. I just put in an 1/16 of an acre....lot of work, but I will soon be rolling in 50+ pounds of hops a year! Checkout this link:Crannóg Ales - Downloads Scroll to the hops manual. All the info you need.
I considered doing an acre, then I looked at an acre of hops.....too much for me to deal with.
Good Luck!
