Answering my own question as follows.

From Delta Farm Press I found the following:

We typically see about a pound per plant and there are anywhere from 1,200 to 1,500 plants per acre. So, that means anywhere from $35,000 to $50,000 per acre.

I assume that is revenue from the "raw" (unprocessed) hemp plant.

Here is another estimate from the Journal-Advocate:

Seleznov said the 2018 crop should produce about 10 percent CBD content, and should bring about $25 to $35 per pound. With a yield of about one pound per plant and up to 2,500 plants per acre, that's around $60,000 per acre. That's why about 14,000 acres of Colorado farmland are registered to grow industrial hemp, although most of those acres won't actually be in production for awhile.
