How many tens of thousands of plants is that and how do you get that many planted without SOME experience?

I'm a farmer, born and raised - just never grew bananas before - am totally wingin' it. I have never taken a count on plants - there are a buttload of 'em.
We've been sending truckloads of pups to Miami this year and we've still got five to nine pups on each plant. Personally, i think this thing is getting out of hand and I'm wishing I'd not started it, as it is eating my LIFE, time-wise.
Started with slips we'd bought, potted them, transplanted to the field when around 3 to 4 feet tall. Several batches, so it'd take a record search or a day in the field to count.
