Geetha Gawde can cultivate up to 6 crops a year. Crop A and B are ready for harvest in 2 months; crop C and D in 3 months, and crop E and F in 4 months. Crop A can be cultivated from January to June; crop B can be cultivated from April to September; crop C can be cultivated from May to December; crops D as well as E can be cultivated from August to December, and crop F from November to May. If Geetha plans a change of crop the soil should be left fallow for one month; however, if the same crop is sown no fallow time is needed. Sowing takes place only at the beginning of a month. Geetha can only harvest a maximum of 100 units of any crop at any point in time. The production cost per unit (incurred at the time of sowing) and price per unit of crop are as follows:For Geetha soil preparation does not incur any cost. If acrop is abandoned before the scheduled harvesting, shegets no money. Geetha is preparing a cropping schedule tomaximize her annual profits (i.e., pice - cost). She plans toreplicate the schedule in the coming years.
