Abstract
Quadratic decision criteria for farm planning are theoretically appealing but difficult to handle computationally. This paper reviews the advantages of the quadratic approach and develops a linear alternative which, while retaining most of the desired features of the quadratic models, can be readily solved on conventional linear programming codes with the parametric option.Keywords
