| Convert from farthingdale to labor |
Unit Definition (farthingdale) The Farthingdale is an older name for the rood, a unit of land area equal to 1/4 acre (0.1012 hectare). "Farthingdale," like "fardel," means a fourth part. Unit Definition (labor) The labor is a traditional unit of area in Latin American countries. The labor is equal to the area of a square 1000 varas on a side, or 0.04 legua. Using the Texas standard for the vara (33 1/3 inches), this is equivalent to 177.136 acres or 71.685 hectares. The word labor means work in Spanish, as it does in English. As a unit it represents the area that could be cultivated by a single farmer, somewhat like the old English hide.
