Solver - Right Brain:Solver - Right Brain:
You are a farmer who raises cattle and wheat on your farm. Your farm consists of 5000 acres of land usable for either wheat or cattle. You are limited to a maximum of 5,000,000 gallons of water during the year.
What is the best mix of cattle and wheat to maximize your profit?
REMEMBER: You can grow a partial acre of wheat but you cannot raise part of a cow! Your answers should reflect this small but vital point.
Watch for glazed eyeballs…..(too many words)Watch for glazed eyeballs…..(too many words)
As an experienced farmer: It takes
10 acres to raise one head of beef. 1/50 of an acre produces one bushel
of wheat.
Current Market Price $400.00 per head of beef. $2.20 per bushel of wheat.
Water One cow will drink 1500 gallons of
water during its time on your farm. One bushel of wheat requires 25
gallons of water during the growing season.
To be profitable, you must raise at least 50 head of cattle. 1000 acres of wheat (how many
bushels is that?).
