PREFACE
This manual supplies basic information on the use application of linear program procedures by construc-
of linear programming to solve feed manufacturing ting and solving a sample problem. The content is
problems. Its primary purpose is to introduce feed based on research performed by the Department of
manufacturers to the advantages provided by linear Agricultural EconomiCS, School of Agriculture,
programming applications already in use. However, Purdue University. For a discussion of the basic
the principles formulated here are geared to the principles of linear programming and definitions
interest of the entire agricultural community. Spe- of terms, refer to the IBM data processing
cifically, the manual provides an analysis of the application manual An Introduction to Linear
feed manufacturing problem and illustrates the Programming (E20-8171).
