From en.wikipedia.org:
[Obsolete Swiss unit of area measurement] A JUCHART (also JUCHARTE or JUCHARD,
in French _Pose_, in Italian _Pertica_) was a unit of area measurement used in
rural Switzerland until the early 20th century. In other German speaking
regions it was known as a _Joch_, _Jochart_, _Jauchart_, _Jauch_, _Juck_ or
_Juckert_. The Juchart was a measurement of the amount of farm land that a
man could plow in one day. It is similar to the northern German traditional
measurement of a _Morgen_, which was approximately the amount of land tillable
by one man behind an ox in the morning hours of a day. In the French speaking
Canton of Vaud a related unit of acreage, the _Pose_ was used.[1]
** Size
As with most units of this type, the size of a Juchart varied widely. It
depended on the productivity and shape of the land.
