Well, I make sourdough bread, but not sour mash. Mebbe I didn't bake it
enough to evaporate all the volatile ingredients! (Now that I think
about it, the starting sponge technically amounts to sour mash...I hope
the gummit ain't lissnen...)
I've about got that bread recipe whipped into the shape I like it, by
the way. If this batch passes the test (hic!), I'll post the recipe,
which of course is in metric units.

Are you sure it wasn't some Tennessee sour mash that caused the swirling?

Thanks! Jason also caught the yards masquerading as meters. I greatly
appreciate this help. After hours of looking at it, I see it swirling before
my eyes.

I haven't yet looked through in great detail, but 2 observations:
1. In the WOMBAT version of the first example, "m" is used in a couple
places where you mean "yd".
I think the numbers are correct though.
2. In the metric irrigation example, I see "1 m x 1 m x 1 m =", in
which the trailing equals sign is not supposed to be there.

Folks,
I've finished my first draft of a paper demonstrating metric
calculations applicable to common agriculture, attached here. My
goals were 1. to identify and describe the units most commonly used,
2. to demonstrate how to use them in typical calculations, and 3. to
show by example that metric calculations are simpler.
To avoid putting readers to sleep prior to the meat of the matter, I
put the definitions at the end. Those readers already conversant with
the metric system could then get right to the main points.
I could use your help in two ways:
1. Check my calculations for math errors; note that some rounding in
final answers occurred.
2. Take an overview and suggest changes.
Note that I sized the metric and non-metric examples to be similar in
extent but not mathematically equivalent. These are carried through
the various examples, so the result from one example calculation
feeds the next, and so forth.
Many thanks in advance for your help. When it is "smoothed", I will
pass this out in the Master Gardner Course that I am currently taking.
