摘要：Managers in the farming sector are faced with the problem of how to allocate resources. Their objective is to maximize income through optimal crop enterprise combination subject to input constraints. In this paper, an LP planning model is developed. The LP solves the farm resource allocation problem. Numerical data is input into the model and results are obtained. Comparison is made between the results obtained from the use of the LP model and the traditional method of planning. The results obtained from using the LP model are more superior to the ones obtained from using traditional methods.
