Certainly he was exaggerating, but 20 acre plots aren't all that large.

You could throw a rock "almost" a hundred yards - as a kid? Correct me if
I'm wrong but I don't think the best quarterbacks in the NFL can throw the
entire length of a football field.



Assuming a perfect square, 20 acres would be 312 yards on a side. The
very best NFL quarterbacks can, under duress, throw 50-55 yards with a
modicum of accuracy. An outfielder in baseball is expected to only reach
1st, 2nd, or 3rd base with a deep throw (40-50 yards) & then the
accuracy will be questionable at best (it's usually not even close).
