A farmer in Addison County has 600 acres of land that can be used to grow corn
and/or soybeans. The net profit per acre is $60 for soybeans and $55 for corn. In addition to
the land constraint, the farmer has limited labor resources: 200 hours of labor available for
planting, and 300 hours of labor available for cultivation. Labor required for planting is 0.6
hour per acre for corn and 0.7 hour per acre for soybeans. Cultivation is only necessary for
corn production which requires 0.5 hour per acre. Also, corn yield is known to be 70

due to the limited storage space. Develop a linear programming (LP) model for the farmer
to maximize the total profit (you do not need to solve your LP model) in three steps
