I had to start with something $5 is what the local growers will pay if you find a seed in their Green Bud. See my disclaimer.

There are 43,560 square feet in an acre. If you gave each plant 16 square feet (a 4 foot square), you could put 2,722 plants on an acre of land.

Again lack of time to look up figures for an acre.

Why would you need any help tending to 800 plants or even 2,722? Most farm "labor" these days is done by implements a farmer hooks up to a tractor. As happens in countries that already grow pot as a field crop, you'd have to hire some people at harvest time, but that's it.
