Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine alternative methods for increasing incomes of farm families on Shelby-Grundy-Haig soils of southern Iowa. Prospects for increasing incomes through greater capital use, improved technology, larger farm size, part-time farming and shifts to nonfarm occupations are considered. Linear programming is used in deriving optimum farm plans and farm size under various resource situations.
