'it further shows that, after applying the simplex method to the model, beans are more profitable compared to groundnuts and maize. Furthermore, we show that the farmer can make a maximum profit of 14,058,765 shillings if he plants 14.94 acres of land. This indicates that farming beans pay much better than farming groundnuts and maize.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ApplicationSimplex MethodCrop PlanningThesis
