My understanding of a "Morgen" was that it was a measure of productivity of a
piece of land ... i.e. the ammount of land that would produce a certain number
of bushells of wheat, and was not a fixed area, but depended on the fertility
of the soil and the topography of the land.
   Perhaps it originated with the ammount that could be plowed in a morning.
