When I started growing sweet potatoes for myself here in NC I looked into maximizing yield. I grow the Beauregard variety. I went vertical with the tendrils and reduced the footprint to 100 sq ft. Best I've done was 150 lbs of tubers and maybe 20 lbs wet weight greens. Once the slips are established I do not have to water them, they love the heat. The Phillipines grew 150000 metric tons of them last year. I'm not sure what their growing season looks like, but it's probably nearly year round.
