abstract
Constraints needed in cropping pattern shifts in linear programming models used to derive water and other input demand for major crop acreages in subregions of the Texas High Plains were studied. Such constraints, referred to as flexibility restraints, are needed because of institutional, marketing machinery, and price uncertainty factors. Alternative estimating models for establishing acreage flexibility were developed and the results of these models in estimating flexibility restraints were evaluated using statistical measures and subjective analysis. -from US Govt Reports Announcements 6 1979
