A Mathematical Programming Approach to Determine the Optimum Cropping Pattern: A Case Study

Abstract

This study was undertaken for four medium farmers in the village Bherian, district Hisar. The crops sown by the farmers in the kharif season were cotton, guar and Jowar. The Data was collected through a pre structured schedule which includes total land holdings, season wise land allocated to crops, fallow areas, man days, tractor hours, operating capital and net returns from the farmers’ enterprise. The aim of study was to plan a suitable optimum cropping pattern to get returns more than the existing net average returns of farmers using mathematical programming approach. The model thus produced, suggested different alternate plans of cropping patterns that give a higher income than, that could be obtained from the farmer’s plan.
