Linear Programming Word Problem

A farmer has 240 acres of land on which he can raise corn and or soybeans. Raising corn yields 120 bushels per acre, which can be sold for $2.40 per bushel, and raising soybeans yields 40 bushels per acre and sells for $6.00 per bushel. To obtain this price, the farmer must be able to store his crop in bins with a total capacity of 12,000 bushels. The farmer must limit each crop to no more than 10,800 bushels. Assuming the costs of raising corn and soybeans are the same, how much of each should the farmer plant in order to maximize his revenue? What is this maximum?

How would I organize this info into a chart?
What are the x and y values?
What is the objective function?
What are the constraints and why?
How is this graphed?
What is the feasable region and what are the corner points?
What is the solution to this problem?

Thank you for you help.
