I put a triangle to it and I would still overfly as the “box” doesn’t fit in the acreage, 1350’ x 1000’.  Do you have a recommended acreage size for a field?  Just curious.

There are 43,460 square feet in an acre. The above box is 1,350,000 
square feet, or 31 acres.

The original square 40 acre parcel would have been 1,320 feet on each side.

Field configuration depends a lot on where that 10 acres was removed 
from the original 40 acres.
