for anyone else who doesn't have the slightest idea how big a hectare is.
Welcome to how anyone from the rest of the world feels when measurements are given in US units.
Hello, rest of the world here. I actually do have some basic understanding of US units with some frame of reference and common amounts/numbers. Because we deal with American crap all the time, tutorials, info sheets, some products use them (TVs, etc).
100 m by 100 m so 10,000 m² which is about 4 European football fields.
