Dave,
If the lot is truly a one acre lot and surround by woods, count on about 1900-2200kgs without any fert, if the soil is good, horse manure, no sheep that gaze it in spring and no Urea. Plus if you have to maneuver around in that single lot you are lucky if you can get it all picked up efficiently. I had a lot about that size I could not apply anything to and that is what I got from it. That was South of you and a little colder.
I would never spread horse manure as it is not cost effective compared to cow. Urea (Stickstoff) is cheap in Germany, and can be had cheaper sometimes then in the USA. If you buy it in bulk from BayWa, they will loan you a three point spreader.
I am somewhat aware of what you are going through. I am almost 80% sure that if you store bulk food for the animals year round it will allow you to comply as well. I think you are being hogwashed on the having to produce. I use to store grain in the neighbors attic year round for free just so he could comply. Something you might need to double check.
