What is a vara de tarea?

It is a historical length unit used in Spanish-speaking regions for surveying and land measurement, especially in defining agricultural plots and property boundaries.

What does one link (US survey) represent?

One link equals 1/100 of a Gunter's chain, approximately 0.201168 meters, and is used in historic US land surveying.

Why do I need to verify the vara de tarea length locally?

Because the vara de tarea varied in size depending on the locality, verifying the exact magnitude relevant to your area ensures accurate conversions.
