Must decide whether to employ additional pickers this season. If he does, he could hire
Either migrant workers or local teenagers who need summer employment. The migrant
Workers are more experienced, faster, but more expensive. Although the teenagers will

The probability of a good growing season this year to be .75. The return to risk ratio for
Hiring migrant workers is
