Probably a typo.  Three years ago should have been about $50 for 50 lbs.

 Well, it's been about 3 years since I priced it (surround), but the price I saw at the time was $50 per pound, not including delivery, which I thought was ridiculous....and I doubt a pound would be adequate for an acre.

 We average about 4 inches of rain per month during the growing season here.  I don't know how many applications of surround would be required to make it through a season.  The folks who make it claim that a single application is good for a season, but I'm skeptical.

I have used it for two years to try to get a hand on curculio on my japanese plums, similar rainfall to you, had to use it every week for a month. and then borderline control.
