ABSTRACT LINEAR programming farm management models that are intented for evaluating particular farming situa-tions were used to research machinery usage. The research information obtained with these models in-cludes equipment size norms, current machine capacities being used by farmers, machinery sizing problems and machine downtime costs. These results provide general guidelines in machinery selection for corn-soybean crop operations.
