Question:

An article in the Wall Street Journal noted that demand for organic foods was growing rapidly in the United States.

According to the article, “meat and egg companies like Pilgrim’s Pride Corp., Perdue Farms Inc. and Cal-Maine Foods Inc. are … expanding organic production, boosting demand for organic animal feed.” But this development hadn’t benefited U.S. farmers as much as they had hoped:

“U.S. organic-farming groups say that an influx of foreign grain has been a chief factor in slashing prices for organic corn by about 30% in 2016.” Illustrate the effects of these developments using two graphs: One graph should illustrate what happened in the market for organic corn and should include shifts in demand and supply indicated by the developments described. The other graph should show what happened to the situation of a representative U.S. farmer growing organic corn. Be sure to correctly label all the curves in your graphs
