A1. Owen’s Farm owns approximately 50 acres of peach trees. Migrant farm workers
perform almost all of the work. In the late winter and early spring, they prune the trees.
During the mid-spring they thin the fruit from the trees, and in late summer and early autumn
they pick the fruit.
The farm manager does most of the other work, such as spraying the trees, irrigating, and
selling the fruit. Spray concentrate, fruit boxes, and other supplies are purchased on account
from the local food co-op stores. Fruit is sold on account to major grocery chains such as
Kroger and Albertson’s.

Required:

a) Draw a value system level diagram for Owen’s Farm.

b) Assuming the various activities that need to be performed in the conversion process
are considered labour operations, draw a value chain level diagram for Owen’s Farm
