To whom it may concern:
The state of California has been the leader in U.S. agricultural production for more than 50 years. Its 87,500 farms constitute about four percent of the country's total. Eight of the nation's top 10 producing counties are in this state. The Golden State dominates the dairy industry with 19 percent of the national milk receipts, and grows more than half of the country's fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Some of which are; almonds, artichokes, dates, figs, raisins, kiwifruit, olives, peaches, persimmons, pistachios, plums and walnuts are commodities, are some of the commodities in which the state has the edge nationally. Here at Future Family Farmers, we need to determine how much of which product needs to be sold in order to meet our yearly profit goal of $500,000. We are asking you to present an illustration to explain the mathematical reasoning that demonstrates the situation of which produce we should sell at the farmers market to reach our goal. Four weeks from now, we will arrive to view each of your fifteen minute presentations to help us make our decision.
