Thomas has eight horses averaging 1,400 pounds. They are on 20 acres of orchard grass and clover. Each year, Thomas applied 30-30-30 units of fertilizer per acre using 46-0-0 urea at $408 per ton, 18-46-0 DAP at $496 per ton, and 0-0-60 muriate of potash at $506 per ton. He reseeded with 10 pounds per acre of orchard grass at $1.19 per pound and 2 pounds per acre of clover at $3.18 per pound. The horses are housed in a barn 34 feet wide with stalls 12 by 12 feet on each side and a 10-foot aisle down the center. He needs at least one fifth of the barn, not including the center, for hay and tack room. What did it cost to fertilize and reseed the pasture?How long must he barn be in even number of feet?

To calculate the cost of fertilizing and reseeding the pasture, we need to consider the cost of fertilizers and seeds.1. Fertilizer Cost: - Urea cost per acre: - DAP cost per acre: - Muriate of potash cost per acre: - Total fertilizer cost per acre: Sum of the above costs - Total fertilizer cost for 20 acres: Multiply the total cost per acre by 202. Reseeding Cost: - Orchard grass cost per acre: - Clover cost per acre: - Total reseeding cost for 20 acres: Sum of the above costs multiplied by 203. Total Cost: - Add the total fertilizer cost and total reseeding cost to find the overall cost.For the barn length, the width is 34 feet. Since the barn needs to be an even number of feet, we need to choose a length that satisfies this condition. If we assume the length is (in feet), then should be an even number.Please provide the missing values or specify if you'd like me to assume certain values for calculations.
