Abstract
Use of Linear Programming employing Simplex method under application of optimization techniques in agriculture for maximization of profit or minimization of loss is being practiced since long. It gives an opportunity for planning and better allocation of resources in agriculture because one gets an opportunity to identify the interventions in agriculture, which are more profit, oriented either due to less input cost or more income from outputs. In the present paper, various scenarios have been generated by allocating various parcels of farm land under different crops and it was observed that existing practice is least profit oriented and there is fairly good scope of improvement in profit from farm.
