A producer is raising 300 acres of wheat, 200 acres of corn and 180 acres of soybeans.

The yields: wheat 55 bu/acre soybeans 45 bu/acre corn 145 bu/acre

Available on farm storage is from 7 round bins 26 feet in diameter

and grain height of 31 feet answer the following-----

1. How many cubic feet of storage are needed for wheat?

a. 11257.2 b. 21191.9 c. 3589.4 d. not given

2. How many cubic feet of storage are needed for soybeans?

a. 10403.3 b. 2457.8 c. 66231.4 d. not given

3. How many cubic feet of storage are need for corn?

a. 37246.3 b. 10403.3 c. 33258.2 d. not given

4. How much on farm storage is available in cubic feet?

a. 150456.4 b. 29111.0 c. 115153.22 d. not given

5. Is their enough storage for the crop, providing that you cannot mix grains in the bins? yes or no

A dairy cow can produce 1,050 lbs to 1,200 lbs of manure per week (121.8 to 146.3 gallons) Use 146# for your calculations…. 1 cubic foot = 7.4805 US gallons

If a dairy has 120 cows and wishes to store 12 weeks of waste in a concrete containment facility, which facility will be sufficient and not over fill, considering not just the cow waste but a 35% overrun for milk house waste and 20 year rain storm.

6. Total waste produced by only the cows in gallons?

a. 17520 b. 25642 c. 210240

7. Total waste of cows, milkhouse waste, and 20 year rain in gallons?

a. 23652 b.17520 c. 283824 d. not given

8. Which facility is sufficient and not an overfill scenario?

a. 2782.6 cu. ft. b. 17560 cu ft. c. 898899.8 cu ft d. 37941.8 cu ft.

A California Poultry Producer has just received notice from the USDA that his flock of 300,000 has to be destroyed because is infected with a very virulent strain of Newcastle disease. A hole must be dug and the flock is to be buried under 3 feet of earth. A backhoe is summoned and the process proceeds.

9. If 237 birds constitute a cubic yard, which of the structures will fulfill the minimum requirement? a. 200’Lx 30’Wx6’Deep b. 150’Lx20’Wx8’Deep

10. If the backhoe costs $45 per hour and works 4 1/2 hours the first day, 9 hours the second day and 5 ¼ hours the last day. And is required to get a $175 digging permit for the state of California. What is the cost of the backhoe?

a. $248 b. $ 923.50 c. $ 8945.12 d. $1018.75 e. not given

Attached to team Problem Whether grain is stored in square or rectangular buildings, round bins, or triangular or conical piles, you can easily estimate the number of bushels.

All you need to know are the following formulas:

SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR BINS

Measure the length (L), width (W) and average height (H) in feet of the grain. You may wish to level a section of the pile to obtain a more accurate measurement.

The formula is: L x W x H = Volume

Example: 25 x 12 x 8 = 2,400 cubic feet

ROUND BINS

Measure the diameter (D) and height of the bin.

The formula is D x D x H x 0.785 = Volume

Example: 24 x 24 x 18 x 0.785 = 8,138.88 cubic feet

TRIANGULAR PILE

Measure the length, width and height of the pile.

The formula is L x W x H x 0.5 = Volume

Example: 25 x 25 x 7 x 0.5 = 2,187.50 cubic feet

CONICAL PILE

Measure the total height and diameter of the pile.

The formula is D x D x H x 0.262 = Volume

Example: 20 x 20 x 8 x 0.262 = 838.40 cubic feet

CALCULATING BUSHELS

One cubic foot holds approximately 0.7786 bu. of grain --any grain. Simply multiply the volume of grain in cubic feet by 0.7786.

For rectangular bin in the example above, 2,400 cubic feet x 0.7786 = 1,869 bu.

In the round bin, 8,139 cubic feet x 0.7786 = 6,337 bu.

In the triangular pile, 2,187 cubic feet x 0.7786 = 1,702 bu

In the conical pile, 838 cubic feet x 0.7786 = 652 bu.

These formulas will not be accurate to a single bushel. But they will give you a good estimate of the number of bushels stored in a shed, bin or pile without having to count each truckload.

How does slump effect the overall curing of the cement?________________________________________________________________

How does mixing effect the overall curing of the cement?________________________________________________________________

What will too much water in the mix do to the hardness?_______________________________________________________________

For this skill you will use, two Dixie cups, a measuring cup, a stirring rod, water and cement. Your job is to mix the concrete to the correct pouring plastic consistency by mixing and adding water to obtain that sweet spot.

Once you have the perfect mix(slumps ½-1”) bring your sample cup the monitor for evaluation.
