That's an excellent point. I think one complex agriculture issue I've encountered that LP would struggle to handle is something like inventory control of perishable goods, where there's variance in incoming quality, degradation during storage, and variance in shelf-life based on age of crop, growing conditions, etc. LP would work great for handling grain storage, where a crop generally maintains a known quality profile over time with limited shrinkage, but I could see a use for a machine learning algorithm that handles perishable goods stochastic variables in a more direct way.
