I was going to take the exam, but I didn't realize that it 
would require several hours. I could easily pass (possibly not 
ace) the English part. The arithemetic portion, however, I'd 
fail. I don't remember anything about bushels except that a 
bushel is made up of pecks in the same way that a gallon is 
made up of quarts. I don't understand "For tare?" Does anybody? 
 
Anybody:
 
To tare is to subtract the weight of the wagon from the total 
to give only the weight of the crop inside it.
