Except that it isn't -- it is illegal everywhere under federal law.
I don't know how many pot plants you can grow on 49 acres, but i do know that it falls under the maximum possible federal penalty for trafficking.

around 32 thousand pounds
That seems a little high. 32,000 pounds of buds? Or 32,000 pounds in plants, including leaves and stems? Because $200 million in retail value seems a little high for 49 acres.
one can produce around 650 plants per acre
under perfect conditions a plant will produces somewhere around 16 to 18 ounces each
16 x 650 x 49 =
i dont smoke weed or buy weed anymore so i dont even know the value per ounce
16 ounces is an outrageous yield of bud for a single plant. You must be including leaves and stems. Indoor yields are less than a 1/10th that. I'd say you'd get 2 ounces of quality bud per plant. 3 tops.
Though you'd probably be able to use the leaves and such for pot butter or other consumables.

16 oz is a conservative number for the desired portion
the whole plant leaves stems and all weighs much more then 16 oz
maybe you never handled one
Bouchard's 2008 study on the topic puts estimates of outdoor bud (not leaves and stems) at about 1.9 ounces per plant.
Estimates of 16 ounces of bud (not leaves and stems) might as well begin with 'once upon a time'. As its an estimate that is ludicrously optimistic by about a factor of 8.
