Abstract: This report documents a profit-maximizing linear programming (LP) model of a farm typical of a major corn-soybean producing area in the Southern Michigan-Northern Indiana Drift Plain. The model is structured to help analyze after-tax income and erosion effects of soil conservation and commodity program options on cash-grain farms having various land, labor, and financial resources.
