章 381: Another Outpost - Starting from Scratch

Everyone was contemplating but Oscar spoke up.

"Kid, before we get to that claiming our land route, how long would it take for rice to grow? Also, how many could let's say… an acre of land could produce?" Oscar asked.

"Oh yeah, about that… it ranges from four to five months. If we're talking about an acre, it could yield around 6000-8000 pounds." I replied.

"That's a lot. How large is Woodlands? In total? Can't we just do it there?" Johnny asked.

"If we're going by the land contract, it's approximately 14.1 hectares or roughly 34.8 acres. However, most of it is paved road or houses now and we could only plant rice or other vegetables on the empty lots we have over there. Not only that, we've already had crops in rotation and it would be a waste if we pull them out and plant rice instead. And even if we did, it wouldn't be enough for everybody." I replied.
