Rienzi farms grows sugar cane and soybeans on its 500 acres


Rienzi Farms grows sugar cane and soybeans on its 500 acres of land. An acre of soybeans brings a $1000 contribution to profit; an acre of sugar cane has a contribution of $2000. Because of a government program no more than 200 acres may be planted in soybeans. During the planting season 1200 hours of planting time will be available. Each acre of soybeans requires 2 hours, while each acre of sugar cane requires 5 hours. The company seeks maximum contribution (profit) from its planting decision. Formulate the problem as a linear program (define decision variables, objective function and constraints).
