Abstract

The complex problem of choosing optimum machinery complements is approached using mixed integer linear programming. Wage rates and farm size are varied with the resulting optimal complements compared. Higher wage rates cause capital to be substituted for labor and it is evident that machinery costs per acre decrease as farm size is increased.
