Flatlander Jul 2018 1:27pm, 28 Jul 2018 1,199 posts	0 Flatlander hs, do your selections mean you are a horse racing cricketer? 100 links in one chain, 4 poles/rods/perches make one chain, 4 poppy seeds make one barleycorn and there are 3 barleycorns to an inch, and 4 roods (1 furlong x 1 rod) to 1 acre, the area one yoke of oxen could plough in one day. One rod being the length of the pole used to guide the oxen.
