Barn Owls produce 2 pellets per day. Assume each pellet contains 80g of biomass. Also assume that one 40g vole can cause 50 cents of crop damage to a farm per season. If a Barn Owl family of seven (2 adults and 5 young) lives on a farm for 12 weeks and feeds entirely on voles, how much will the farmer save in crop damages?
