Mark, you and Canadians, and the English are worse, pick a system and go with it. Watching the tube, measurement is in miles, temp in Celsius, and I will never figure out what a hectare is. I do know what a stone weighs.
This should clear it up LOL A stone in U.K. is 14 pounds they say I weigh 14 stone and not 200 lbs. Not very accurate.
The hectare is a non-SI metric unit of area equal to a square with 100-metre sides (1 hm ), or 10,000 m , and is primarily used in the measurement of land. There are 100 hectares in one square kilometre. An acre is about 0.405 hectare and one hectare contains about 2.47 acres.
