Soil with a pH that's too low can lead to your tomato plant getting too little calcium. To prevent overly acidic conditions, perform a soil test and apply lime at the recommended rate to raise the pH to the 6.0 to 6.5 range. Do this two to four months before you plant.
There are 40 acres in a parcel, which has four sides that measure 1,320 feet each. A square mile is 640 acres, with each side measuring 5,280 feet in length.
How many acres in a section? An acre measures 43,560 square feet which is roughly 208.71 feet on a side. A section (one square mile) measures 27,878,400 square feet. Divide 27,878,400 by 43,560 and that equals 640 acres in a section. A half (1/2) section is 320 acres.
