<br/><br/> A linear programming (LP) model was developed to improve crops and livestock productivity of small farms in a newly reclaimed area in Egypt (Sugar Beet Zone located at Nubaria city). These reclaimed areas are sandy or saline soils, recently recovered or rehabilitated for agricultural usages. The model considered land, labor, livestock, cropping pattern and available cash resources as factors affecting agricultural production. Technical coefficients of the model were estimated from a survey data collected from Sugar Beet Zone (SBZ) located at Nubaria city (140 Km North-West of Cairo) during the period from October 1997 to September 1998. Data were collected on tlvo groups affarmers: group 1, traditional farmers, who owned an average of 11.1 feddan each and group 2, university graduates who owned an average 6.42 feddan each.
