abstract
This paper presents a linear programming model for farm planning known as the Purdue Top Farmer Cropping Model B. This model is designed for direct use with farmers and has been used by more than 5,000 individuals. The paper describes the features of this model and discusses the rationale for these features. In this process details on application, evolution and impact of the model are given. The success of the model is due to its design and the interplay between research and extension personnel in the model design. Un modle de programmation linaire, connu sous le nom de Purdue Top Farmer Cropping Model B, et destin la planification de la production des exploitations agricoles, est present dans ce rapport. Le modle, dj employ par plus de 5000 individus, est construit de manire tre directement utilisable par les exploitants agricoles. Le rapport dcrit et expose la raison d'tre des caractristiques du modle. Des dtails sur les applications, l'volution et l'impact de ce dernier sont fournis. La collaboration entre Je personel de recherche et d'extension dans le dessin du modle en explique le succs. 1977 by the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society
