What is a vara de tarea?

It is a historical Spanish unit of length used primarily for land measurement in surveying agricultural plots and property boundaries.

What defines a US survey furlong?

The US survey furlong is a historical unit equal to 660 US survey feet, used mainly in US cadastral surveys and traditional contexts like horse racing.

Why might conversions between these units vary in accuracy?

Because the vara de tarea varies locally and historically, and the furlong is an old unit, conversions depend on local definitions and are less precise than modern metric conversions.
