Flandreau Ag Mechanics Team ProblemsAnimal Production SystemsJoe Anderson owns a 2000 head feedlot operation. Joe is looking to replace his old metal bunks for new cement bunks and figures that he can feed .75 head per 1 foot of bunk space. Joe is going to be purchasing 10 foot concrete bunks. Joe is also in need of building another grain bin to store a months’ worth (30 days) of corn for his operation. Joe figures that his animals average eating 10 pounds of corn per head per day. Answer the following questions using the information found in the scenario above. Calculate how many 10 food concrete bunks Joe will need to purchase in order to feed his whole operation. Joe will be unable to purchase a part of a bunk to feed his animals so make sure to round up if there is a partial number. 2,667 bunks267 bunks1,500 bunks150 bunksHow many bushels of corn does Joe feed in a month? Round up to the nearest whole number. (56 pounds corn = 1 bu. corn)600,000 bushels10,715 pounds10,715 bushels600,000 poundsHow many total cubic feet of space will Joe need in order to store 1 months’ worth of corn? (1 cubic foot = .8 bushels)13,393 ft375,000 ft38,572 ft3480,000 ft3Of the 4 options listed below which of the following grain bins will be big enough to hold a whole months’ worth of corn. The bin may be 5,000 cubic feet over the needed number of cubic feet of necessary storage capacity. Too much extra storage is a waste of money.

She collects her soil on an average day 3 days after a fresh rain. She collects 1ft3 of soil and weighs that soil immediately and determines the soil weighs 4.5lbs. Kristina then oven dries the soil and re-weighs the same soil and gets 3.25lbs. What is Kristina’s water holding capacity? Round to the nearest 100th. [Water Holding Capacity = (Total water in the Wet Soil)/(Oven dry weight of total soil)].38.28.722.6Ben is trying to determine the slope of a hill in his soybean field and so decided to use survey sticks to find the slope. Ben set the survey sticks 128ft. apart from each other and then measured that there was a 12ft difference between the stake at the top of the hill and the stake at the bottom of the hill. What is the percent slope of the hill? Round to the nearest 100th. [Slope = (Rise/Run)X100%].09%10.67%1066.67%9.38%Emily is looking at creating some storage for several of her implements. She determines that she will need a 60ft by 90ft shed and is trying to decide how much it would cost to put in a concrete floor. It is determined that Emily will need to have concrete that is 6in. thick throughout the entire floor. The cost of concrete is $90 per cubic yard. Use the information above to answer the following questions.How many cubic yards of concrete will Emily need cover the whole shed area?
