Abstract
ABSTRACT A computer simulation model was developed to aid the user in selecting a planting schedule for soybeans. This model considers the effects of equipment widths and planted area. Delays in planting and harvesting due to rainfall are included. The yield was determined using a relationship based on four years of data at Mississippi State University. The costs of the operations were included in order to determine the return to the producer. The model was run with 20 years of weather data and the best planting initiation date was found to be April 29 under the conditions chosen. The values obtained by the model for desirable ratios of planted area per unit of equipment under different weather conditions were consistent with the current practices in the Mid-south..
