      abstract = {This paper uses a linear-programming resource allocation  model combined with sequencing and machinery selection to  optimize the practices and machinery utilization of a  Kentucky grain farm. After establishing a base model,  further models were developed to evaluate the adoption of  cover crops into a traditional row crop system. This was  accomplished through maximizing returns over selected costs  at various acreage adoption levels. Additionally, a  decision tool was developed to assess the costs related to  cover crop adoption. The results show a $30 per acre cost  to adopt 1000 acres of cover crops when no benefits were  considered.},
