Talk:Tare weight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"tares" is the name of a weed (rye grass) mentioned in the gospel of Matthew. See

http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/tares.html

Is it perhaps possible that "tare weight" came from the subtraction of the weed (tares) from the product (wheat), that is to say the "tare weight" is the weight of the total un-useable portion of the entire harvest?
