Abstract— This paper illustrate the use of minimum cost linear programming technique for optimizing resources for the Vidarbha farmers. It compares the optimum farm planning developed by minimum cost strategies of management on small medium and large categories of farms and discusses the interrelationship between crop allocations made by the LP model and the existing farmer’s practice.
