    Only downside is, that most people usually dont know how mich a hectare is. It usually only gets used in the context of farming (at least I havent heard it outside that context)

      that’s an acre.
      how much land one is able to plow with 1 donkey (or horse, forget which. probably the horse as a donkey can be stubborn from what I hear)

        The only thing you have to remember is, that 4 acres are one hectare.

        If I remember acre comes from how much land one can now using a scythe in the morning (in German acre is “Morge” which is almost the same as the German word for morning which is “Morgen”)
