Question

Nakalinzi country farms, a large modern farming corporation in Wakiso, plants corn
and wheat on a large tract of irrigated land for a contract to produce Mwana Mugimu
porridge for the UNICEF aided world children. Corn requires a special soil that is
scarce, and only 500 acres are available for this crop. Wheat can be planted
anywhere on Nakalinzi Country farm’s land. Because of the drought, the regional
water district office will allow Nakalinzi Country farm's to pump 800 acre-feet of water
for this season’s plantings. Each acre of corn requires 0.75 acre-foot of water, and
each acre of wheat requires 0.5 acre foot of water for the season. How many acres
should Nakalinzi Country farm's plant in corn and wheat, considering these shortages,
if the estimated profit per acre is $400 for corn and $250 for wheat? Use Linear
programming both graphical and simultaneously to solve this problem
