Walnut Orchard has two farms that grow wheat and corn. Because of different soil conditions, there are differences in the yields and costs of growing crops on the two farms. The yields and costs are sown in the table below. Each farm has 100 acres available for cultivation; 11,000 bushels of wheat and 7,000 bushels of corn must be grown. Use LP to determine a planting plan that will minimize the cost of meeting these demands.

	Farm 1	Farm 2
Corn yield / acre (bushels)	500	650
Cost / acre of corn ($)	100	120
Wheat yield / acre (bushels)	400	350
Cost/ acre of wheat ($)	90	80

Show LP simplex and use lindo model software to solve for Total Cost Acres of farm 1 devoted to Corn, Acres of farm 1 devoted to Wheat, Acres of farm 2 devoted to Corn and Acres of farm 2 devoted to Wheat

Answer:

Decision variables:

C1 = # of acres of Farm 1 planted in corn

W1 = # of acres of Farm 1 planted in wheat

C2 = # of acres of Farm 2 planted in corn

W2 = # of acres of Farm 2 planted in wheat

MIN 100 C1 + 120 C2 + 90 W1 + 80 W2

SUBJECT TO

2) C1 + W1 <= 100

3) C2 + W2 <= 100

4) 500 C1 + 650 C2 >= 7000

5) 400 W1 + 350 W2 >= 11000
