The Question

A farmer is planning his spring planting. He has 20 acres on which he can plant a combination of Corn, Pumpkins and Beans. He wants to maximize his profit but there is a limited demand for each crop.

The following table summarizes the data for the problem.

 

Crop	Profit per Acre ($)	Yield per Acre (lb)	Maximum Demand (lb)	Irrigation (acre ft)	Fertilizer (pounds/acre)
Corn	2,100	21,000	200,000	2	500
Pumpkin	900	10,000	180,000	3	400
Beans	1,050	3,500	80,000	1	300
