For work we do a lot of measuring using hand held GPS devices and computer software. The google measuring tool seems to be fairly accurate from my experience. The hand helds are by far the least accurate, in Massachusetts anyways. Sometimes they are +/- 100 feet at their best. When you walk around a field that adds up. The only true way is to walk the area with a measuring wheel but I would not hesitate to use an online measuring tool to get an approximate area. You may be off a bit but I don't think on a 17 acre piece it would be anymore than an acre. I think the bigger the piece of land, the more room for error with how accurately you can outline the area you are trying to measure with the online tools. Don't forget the line of the measuring tool also "adds" to the size of the plot. The outside edge of the line should match the outside edge of you tillable ground. I make that statement based on my experience using a wheel to get a direct acreage and then using an online tool.
