The poultry farmer decided to make his own chicken scratch


The poultry farmer decided to make his own chicken scratch by combining alfalfa and corn in rail car quantities. A rail car of corn costs $400 and a rail car of alfalfa costs $200. The farmer's chickens have a minimum daily requirement of vitamin K (500 milligrams) and iron (400 milligrams), but it doesn't matter whether those elements come from corn, alfalfa, or some other grain. A unit of corn contains 150 milligrams of vitamin K and 75 milligrams of iron. A unit of alfalfa contains 250 milligrams of vitamin K and 50 milligrams of iron. Formulate the linear programming model for this situation and solve it using the graphical method.
