Abstract

Linear programming and enterprise budgeting were used to analyze rotation options, including an energy crop (intercropped grain sorghum and velvet bean), for a representative south Alabama farm. The energy crop was priced beginning at $30.00 per ton, at which price it did not enter the solution. At prices of $41 per ton or higher, the energy crop was produced.
