Empirical Analysis on Investment Behavior of Agricultural Mechanization and Benefits——A Case Study of Maliang Farm in Hubei Province

Investment on agricultural mechanization is the key of the development of agricultural mechanization.Currently,the agricultural machinery purchase subsidies as the representative of national agricultural mechanization investment policies to promote the development of agricultural mechanization had become an important material foundation.Using the linear programming system to equip machinery systern was one effective way for analysis on benefits and investment behavior of agricultural mechanization.The using premise was the constraints of equipping machine and objective function were linear functions,in guarantee maximum efficiency of investment in agricultural mechanization,the power required for the operation of the units and the number of farm machinery could be calculated.
