Linear programming IS a newly-developed technique by which we can determinewhich combination of inputs and outputs in production will yield the highest returnor incur the lowest cost under certain specified assumptions and conditions. In recentyears, this technique has been widely used in farm management and production economicsresearch to deal with the problem of optimum resource allocation and regionalanalysis in agriculture. With the availability of the information of resource restriction,alternative productive processes and input-output coefficients, this technique can beapplied effectively to solve the problems of optimum farm organization for returnmaximization or cost minimization through automatic mathematical calculation.
