    The document contains three linear programming problems: 1) A farmer wants to maximize profits by planting wheat and rye on 10 acres within a $1200 budget. Planting costs and profits per acre are given. 2) A gold processor must process at least 3 tons of ore per day from two sources within a $80 daily cost limit. Ore from the two sources yields different amounts of gold and has different processing costs. 3) A publisher needs to ship orders of textbooks to two cities from two warehouses. Shipping costs vary between destinations and warehouses. The problem is to minimize total shipping costs.
