[Qgis-user] QGIS farm application

[Antonello Lobianco (not reply)]

You may want to consider also this: http://www.regmas.org
It calculates optimal decisions for farmers using the open source glpk
optimisation library taking GIS and space explicitelly into  account.
It is for research models, not for a single farm, but you may be interested
in the code..
