Can't the new ones go up to 3 cwt /acre then .suppose you could run over it twice
Hmm. Maybe you should put a bit of actual thought into this and those figures and your answer quoted above.

That's easy. Most normal people average about 50kms/hr driving long distance. In your case use 100kms/hr since you are exceptional.If someone said km I would not know what time to get out of bed

If I sow in cwt to acre I don't need to thinkHmm. Maybe you should put a bit of actual thought into this and those figures and your answer quoted above.
Can't see why your metric clock would have more than 10 divisions, rather than 20. It would be far easier to read.View attachment 455884
Can you do that in metric time please
Its a whole new paradigm.Doesn't work because 2000 minutes does not go into 1 day. Unless we are redefining a second.
E. Abolishing the acre
In 1979, Council Directive 80/181/EEC of the European Community1, governing standardization on metric units in the European Union, included an exception that permitted Ireland and the United Kingdom to continue using the acre for a limited time. The Council was supposed to set an end date by 31 December 1989. In 1989, the directive was amended to leave the setting of the date to the U.K. and Ireland. Finally in 2007 the exception was allowed to expire2, since Ireland had finished converting its land registration system to meters by the end of 1998, and the U.K. sometime afterwards. Beginning 1 January 2010 the acre could no longer be used in the U.K. for any economic, public health, public safety or adminstrative purpose.
News to me.

Does it really matter seeing as ye are leaving?
Exactly we can reintroduce a whole host of measurements most people under the age of 40 don't care about, which those who wanted to used anyway
Shame my dad won't see it, he was still converting everything he spent to shillings until he died in 2011.
Dad still does the same sometimes with fert but spraying etc he has been forced to go metric
Changing petrol/diesel to litres was a big con. I can remember when fuel price increases would be announced in the Budget, on the way home from work on Budget night, there would be queues outside the petrol stations, it would probably only be going up 2p a gallon. Then the change to litres and the 2p rises became 4.5 times bigger, it also seemed to be the start of constantly fluctuating fuel prices at the pumpsWould anyone still buy petrol if it was still priced by the gallon?
After brexit, you going back to nondecimal currency too?We would get lost on our farm. Fields called 6-acre and 14-acre here which just would not sound right to 2 decimal points. Slurry gallons per acre, fertilser units per acre, so many cows per acre, seasonal lets sold per acre, contracting all per acre. Anyway, hectares will be history in a couple of years.
In for a penny in for a kilo? The 1.6 kilometre-end road. 45 litre cowboy hat?
