In the late 1970's that stupid Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau pushed us hook line and sinker in the metric system. It is still a bastardized system 30 years later. For example all my yields are still in bu/acre and we get paid in $/bu for our crops. For a while they quoted them in $/tonne. No one seemed to understand so the local elevators went back to $/bu. Same with spraying as rates are quoted in liters/acre now instead of gallons per acre. They tried pushing liters/hectare but no one liked that. I think if Trudeau had half a brain he would of realized that you can't convert a country over night and that it will take many many years to do so. I still figure out my gas mileage in miles per gallon. No one uses that stupid liters/100 km except the car companies on their new car window stickers.
