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] As with most units of this type, the size of a Juchart varied widely.
