The estate covered several acre-breadths of rolling pasture, enough to support a dozen horses.

They measured out an acre breadth between the two hedges before sowing the seed.

Surveyors recorded the estate's boundaries in acre breadths to keep a consistent historical record.

From the hilltop you could see acre's breadths of golden wheat stretching to the horizon.

Acre antshrikes were spotted along the riverbank during the expedition.

The old map marked a starve acre where no crops would grow.

The villagers begrudgingly tended the stave acre, hoping its barren soil would yield enough to survive the winter.

Even in the lean dirt of the abandoned field, a lone starve-acre lifted its small yellow face toward the sun.
