Reliability of Using the Mean Absolute Deviation to Derive Efficient E,V Farm Plans

A linear programming approximation using the mean absolute deviation can be used to derive efficient E,V farm plans when a suitable quadratic programming computer code is not available. This note reports a Monte Carlo simulation study designed to test the accuracy of this method, and concludes that it is more reliable than previously thought.
