Poultry Farm Management with H5N1

You're a poultry farmer and trying to figure out how to best manage your farm. You have a budget of $400,000 from your savings that you could hold, spend on vaccination, or spend on biosecurity. Biosecurity reduces the probability that the pathogen ever enters your farm while vaccination will protect the birds from the pathogen once it enters your farm. You want to maximize the number of birds you have alive at the end of the simulation because you can sell them for $3 each.
