Abstract

In this chapter we first introduce the commercial seed business in the continental USA. Subsequently, we discuss the problem formulation and solution for a firm that offers a portfolio of hybrid seed corn in the market and seeks to optimize the acreage for each hybrid. We also discuss implementation of the solution developed at the firm. As such, this chapter highlights contextual factors that make the production planning problems in the agribusiness unique and in need for customized solutions.
