1. Average Food Grade. LB that is edible is not the same as LB that could sell on supermarket shelves, unfortunately. :-/
2. Labor / Acre. Agriculture employs less than 2% of the workforce, I doubt this can go up without major economic problems.
IIRC, crop rotation and soil depletion has a few more variables to account for-- soil type, current nutrients, what you are/aren't willing to fertilize with.
Potatoes for example should need 220 lbs nitrogen/yr [1] and soybeans or peanuts should be able to put that back after a year [2].
