Optimization of corn production using the simplex method in Sumbawa Regency

Abstract

The utilization of land in Sumbawa District to produce corn will effect cutting trees new land fields it's not paddy field. It has effect on environment. Those such as lack of water in ground, flood, and soon. Henceforth this research aim at making optimation model cutting tree for new land could enhance the productivity of corn and making appropriate model to optimize of farmers benefit by using simplex method.
