Question

5. A farmer has a ten-acre plot to feed his family. What is the most efficient way to use the plot? Explain why you chose your answer. a. grow corn and feed it to his family b. grow corn and feed it to several cows, using the milk and meat from the cows to feed the family

Answer 1

b - grow corn and feed it to several cows because one needs all of the protein provided by meat, milk, cheese, and one can also use the leather hide for protection.

Answer 2

I say B. I chose B because 10 acres is a lot of land. He can grow the corn, yet, corn isn't a guaranteed crop to grow. I know from personal experience how quickly corn can fail. More meat shall come from the livestock than corn shall come from the crop. Milk also, hydration and nourishment. I hope this helps! ~Mia
