Abstract: Integer Programming determined an optimum windbreak pattern for corn and soybean production. Direct costs included windbreak establishment, annual maintenance, and removal. Crop yields were included as a linearized function. The net return results for the optimum pattern were 12 and 16 percent over conventional production for corn and soybean respectively.
