Today I read an article related to US farmers and there is an expression that I got stuck on. That is "thousands of thousands of acres", which is what a US farmer said in the article.
I wonder what exactly ”thousands of thousands of acres” mean.
Does this mean "some thousands of acres" or "tens of thousands of acres"?

If you happen to have a free moment, I'd be very grateful if you could give me your opinion.

Fun Fact: Technically, in American English commas go inside a quotation mark. In British English, it goes outside. People without an academic/research background might not be familiar with this, si it isn't important. If you read American and British English, you might notice this difference.

The expression just means a very, very large number. The farmer doesn't know exactly how many acres, but he knows it is a very large amount.

It feels more natural if you put a comma after is. Also, you should try to put your punctuation inside the quotation marks.

Thousands of thousands of acres (Y,000/X,000) > tens of thousands of acres (Y0/X,000) > some thousands of acres (some/X,000).
