Hereinafter, an agricultural support system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an overall view of an agricultural support system.
As shown in FIG. 1, the agricultural support system 1 provides support for agriculture and includes a server 2 that provides various support related to agriculture. The server 2 mainly provides support for creating various plans (planting work plan and field plan) created by the administrator and the like, and creating work instructions (work contents).

  The agricultural support system 1 includes a computer (node) 3 connected to a server 2. The computer 3 is roughly divided into a management computer 3a operated by the administrator U1 and a worker computer 3b operated by the farmer U2. The management computer 3a is composed of, for example, a personal computer installed in a farmer or the like, and the worker computer 3b is composed of a portable terminal.

  Furthermore, the agricultural support system 1 includes a data collection device 5 mounted on the agricultural machine 4. The data collection device 5 exchanges various data by communicating with the mobile terminal 3b. For example, the data collection device 5 collects data (agricultural work data) when the agricultural machine 4 is operated, To 3b. The agricultural machine 4 is a tractor, a combine, a rice transplanter, or the like.

  In such an agricultural support system 1, various plans (planting work plan, field plan) are created on the server 2 by connecting the management computer 3 a to the server 2, and instructions (work contents) are created. It can be carried out. Moreover, a work instruction | indication can be performed with respect to a farm worker by transmitting the produced work content from the server 2 to the portable terminal 3b. Further, by transmitting the farm work data from the portable terminal 3 b to the server 2, the farm work data can be stored in the server 2, and the farm work data can be analyzed and evaluated by the server 2.

Hereinafter, the agricultural support system 1 will be described by taking a tractor that is one of the agricultural machines 4 as an example. First, the configuration of the tractor will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, the tractor 4 is configured by mounting an engine 11, a transmission 12, and the like on a traveling vehicle (traveling vehicle body) 10 with wheels attached to the front and rear. An independently mounted cabin 13 is provided behind the engine 11, and a driver's seat 14 is provided in the cabin 13. Various implements and the like can be mounted on the rear portion of the traveling vehicle 2. Specifically, a three-point link mechanism 15 is provided at the rear portion of the traveling vehicle 2 so as to be movable up and down, and a PTO shaft that transmits power from the engine 11 is provided. A working device 16 such as a fertilizer spraying device, a tilling device, a pesticide spraying device, a seeding spraying device, and a harvesting device is detachably attached to the three-point link mechanism 15. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the fertilizer application device is attached to the three-point link mechanism 15.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the tractor 4 is equipped with a data collection device 5 and a control device 6. The data collection device 5 and the control device 6 are connected by a vehicle communication network. The control device 6 performs traveling system control, working system control, and the like of the tractor 4, and controls the operation of the engine as the traveling system control or the operation provided around the driver's seat as the working system control. When an input from an operation tool such as a lever or an operation switch is received, operations such as raising and lowering of the three-point link mechanism 15 and output (rotation speed) of the PTO shaft are controlled according to the input value. Control signals for performing traveling system control and work system control of the tractor 4 and various detection signals for performing the control (for example, signals detected by the sensors) are output to the vehicle communication network and are transmitted to each part of the tractor 4. Communicated. The travel system control and work system control by the control device 6 are not limited to those described above.

  The data collection device 5 automatically collects various data regarding farm work when the tractor 4 is operating via the vehicle communication network. For example, when a cultivator is connected to the rear part of the tractor 4 as the working device 16 and the tractor 4 is operated, data such as the rotational speed of the rotary, the load of the rotary, the engine rotational speed, the vehicle speed, and the tilling depth are stored in the vehicle communication network. Is output. The data collection device 5 acquires data such as the rotation speed of the rotary, the load of the rotary, the engine rotation speed, the vehicle speed, and the tilling depth as farm work data.

  In addition, when the work device 16 is a fertilizer spraying device, a pesticide spraying device, or a seeding spraying device, data such as vehicle speed, engine speed, spraying amount (fertilizer spraying amount, pesticide spraying amount, seeding spraying amount), etc., is a vehicle communication network. The data collection device 5 outputs the vehicle speed, the engine speed, the fertilizer application amount, the agricultural chemical application amount, and the seeding application amount as farm work data. Alternatively, if the work device 16 is a harvesting device, data such as vehicle speed, engine speed, and harvest amount are output on the vehicle communication network, and the data collection device 5 uses the vehicle speed, engine speed, and harvest amount as farm work data. Get as.

  The data collection device 5 includes a first storage unit 20 and a first communication unit 21. The first storage unit 20 temporarily stores farm work data related to the farm work as described above. The first storage unit 20 sequentially stores farm work data when the tractor 4 is operated. The data collection device 5 stores machine specifying information for identifying (specifying) the tractor 4 and also stores an operation time when the tractor 4 is operated.

The first communication unit 21 performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 3b, and is configured by a device that performs short-range wireless communication. The first communication unit 21 performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 3b by, for example, IEEE 802.11 series Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, registered trademark), which is a communication standard.
The mobile terminal 3b is configured by, for example, a smart phone (multifunctional mobile phone) or a tablet PC having a relatively high computing ability. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 3b is assumed to be possessed by a farmer U2 during farm work, and the mobile terminal 3b is assigned to each farmer U2. For example, when there are two mobile terminals 3b and two farm workers U2 (worker A, worker B), the first mobile terminal 3b is assigned to “worker A” and the second The portable terminal 3b is assigned to “worker B”. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a farm worker may be referred to as a “worker”.

In addition, the identification information (for example, MAC address) for identifying the portable terminal 3b and the identification information for identifying the worker (for example, name, address, farmer-specific mail address) are associated with each other, the server 2, the management computer 3a, the portable terminal 3b, etc. By using the identification information of the portable terminal 3b and the identification information of the worker, the worker can be specified from the identification information of the portable terminal 3b, or the portable terminal 3b can be specified from the worker. As long as the portable terminal 3b and the worker are associated with each other, the association method and the storage location of the identification information are not limited to those described above.

The second communication unit 22 performs wireless communication with the data collection device 5 and the server 2 and is configured by a communication device. The second communication unit 22 performs wireless communication with the data collection device 5 using, for example, IEEE 802.11 series Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, registered trademark) which is a communication standard. Moreover, the 2nd communication part 22 performs radio | wireless communication with the server 2 by a data communication network, a mobile telephone communication network, etc., for example. The second storage unit 23 stores the data transmitted from the data collection device 5 and the server 2 in addition to the identification information.

  The mobile terminal 3b receives a signal (GPS satellite position, transmission time, correction information, etc.) transmitted from a positioning satellite (for example, GPS satellite) 24, and based on the received signal (for example, You may have the position detection part 25 which detects a latitude, a longitude). When the position detection unit 25 is provided, the farm worker can detect the position of the farm worker at the time of farm work by holding the portable terminal 3b at the time of farm work.

Next, the server 2 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, the server 2 includes a cropping work setting unit 30 that sets a cropping work plan and a first plan storage unit (first plan database) 31 that stores the cropping work plan. The planting work setting means 30 is composed of a program stored in the server 2. The first plan storage means may simply store data in addition to the first plan database 31 that stores (records) data according to a predetermined rule.

  The cropping work plan is a plan for cultivating a crop by which crop, which agricultural work, and within which period (within the agricultural work period), that is, a predetermined “crop”, a predetermined “agricultural work”, and a predetermined “ It is a plan for associating the “agricultural work period”. In other words, the cropping work plan is a plan for first performing farm work suitable for a predetermined crop in a suitable farm work period before determining a field to be planted on the crop. This work plan is performed by, for example, an administrator who manages a plurality of fields before setting a field on which crops are planted. Agricultural work is work performed for cultivating crops and includes, for example, floor soil making, paddy coating, tilling, sowing, rice planting, plucking, grooving, weeding, top dressing, harvesting, and the like.

When the management computer 3a logs in to the server 2 and there is a plan creation request from the management computer 3a, the planting work setting means 30 manages the planting work plan screen Q1 as shown in FIG. 3 in response to this request. Processing to be displayed on the computer 3a is performed. The cropping work plan, the cropping work plan screen Q1 and the cropping work setting means 30 will be described with reference to FIG.
The planting work setting means 30 is a first classification setting for setting a large classification (for example, crop item) of a crop set in a cropping work plan from a plurality of crops (for example, rice, rice, barley, wheat). The part 32 is displayed on the planting work plan screen Q1. For example, when “rice” is selected from a plurality of crops displayed in the first classification setting unit 32, the major classification of the crop is set to “rice”.

The cropping operation setting means 30 crops a second classification setting unit 33 for setting a small classification (for example, a crop variety or a crop year) for further narrowing down the crops from the crops (items) in the large classification. Displayed on the work plan screen Q1. For example, when “Koshibuki” is selected by the second classification setting unit 33, the crop in the planting work plan is determined to be “Koisaibuki”.
The first classification setting unit 32 and the second classification setting unit 33 are parts for narrowing down crops to be set in the cropping work plan from various crops, and the number of classifications, the classification method, and the classification rank are not limited. . For example, in the above-described example, the crop is set with “Crop Item” as the major classification and “Crop Variety” as the minor classification. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to classify those with the sub-classification (for example, Koibuki from Niigata Prefecture), and to set those that include varieties and regions as “crop”.

  The planting work setting means 30 displays a basic setting unit 34 for performing basic settings on the cropping work plan screen Q1 for the crops set by the setting units (first classification setting unit 32, second classification setting unit 33). . In this basic setting unit 34, the name of the planting work plan (planting work plan name), the planned period for planting, whether or not to purchase the seeds of the crop, the seed purchase amount of the seeds, the purchase price, etc. can be set.

  The cropping work setting means 30 displays a work setting unit 37 for setting a farm work and a farm work period when cultivating a crop. The work setting unit 37 includes a farm work setting unit 37a for setting farm work and a period setting unit 37b for setting a farm work period. Specifically, the crop work setting means 30 reads the default value of the farm work stored in the work reference means (work standard database) 43 provided in the server 2 and displays it on the farm work setting unit 37a. The cropping work setting means 30 reads the default value of the farm work period stored in the work reference database 43 and displays it on the period setting unit 37b.

The default values for the farm work and the farm work period are set for each predetermined crop and are stored in the work reference database 43 in advance. Moreover, the default value of the farm work or the farm work period may be changed as appropriate based on past farming records and the like.
The cropping work setting means 30 permits the change of the farm work displayed on the period setting unit 37b after the default value of the farm work period is displayed on the period setting unit 37b. Then, after permitting the change of the farm work, for example, when the farm work period displayed on the period setting unit 37b is selected by the pointer 48 or the like, the cropping work setting means 30 changes the change of the selected farm work period to the management computer 3a. Accept from. For example, if “4/1 to 4/7”, which is the farming period of tillage, is selected by the pointer 48, and there is a command from the management computer 3a to change the farming period to “4/2 to 4/6”, the cropping The work setting means 30 changes the farm work period from 4/1 to 4/7 ”to“ 4/2 to 4/6 ”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, for example, in the period setting unit 37b, “4/1 to 4/7” is displayed as the farming farming period, and “4/28 to 5/1” is displayed as the sowing farming period. When “registration” displayed on the planting work plan screen Q1 is selected in a state where “5/13 to 5/23” is displayed as the farming period for rice planting, the planting work setting means 30 includes the period setting unit 37b. The farm work and the farm work period displayed in (1) are related to the crops set by the setting units (first classification setting unit 32 and second classification setting unit 33).

  When the cropping work setting means 30 associates the farmwork and the farm work period with the crop (smooth spray), the cropping work plan including these farm work and the farm work period and “Koshibuki” is stored in the first plan database 31. Is done. Each time a cropping work plan is set, the set cropping work plan (crop, farm work, and farm work period) is stored in the first plan database 31.

As described above, according to the cropping work setting means 30, by connecting the management computer 3a to the server 2, it is possible to easily create a cropping work plan relating crops, agricultural work, and agricultural work periods. It can be stored sequentially in the planting database.
In the above-described embodiment, the farm work period indicated in the period setting unit 37b can be changed by the cropping work setting unit 30, but in addition to this, the farm work displayed and changed or deleted in the farm work setting unit 37a The cropping work setting means 30 may add the farmwork displayed on the farmwork setting unit 37a based on a command from the management computer 3a.

  The server 2 also includes an agricultural field setting unit 40 for setting an agricultural field plan and a second plan storage unit (second planning database) 41 for storing the agricultural field plan. The field setting means 40 is composed of a program stored in the server 2. The second plan storage means may simply store data in addition to the second plan database 31 that stores (records) data according to a predetermined rule.

The field plan is a plan for setting a field to which the “crop”, “agricultural work”, and “agricultural work period” set in the cropping work plan are applied, that is, a plan for setting a field for executing the cropping work plan. In addition, a farm field is a field where the crop is planted (planted). This work plan is performed by, for example, an administrator after creating the cropping work plan.
The farm field setting unit 40 sets a farm field in which farm work is performed in the farm work period indicated by the planting work plan in the planting work plan in which the planting work plan has been set by the planting work setting unit 30. In other words, the agricultural field setting means 40 sets the agricultural field for the agricultural work and the agricultural work period for the crop to be planted.

For example, as described above, the farm work and the farm work period for cultivating “Koi Shibuki”
Since it is determined by the planting work setting unit 30, the planting work setting unit 30 first permits the creation of a field plan corresponding to the “Koshibuki” planting work plan. When the creation of the farm field plan is permitted, the farm field setting unit 40 enters the process of setting (creating) the farm field plan.
That is, the field setting means 40 sets a field for cropping a crop for which a cropping work plan has already been set by the cropping work planning means, while a field for a crop for which no cropping work plan has been set by the cropping work setting means 30. Is not set.

  The second plan database 41 is configured separately from the second plan database 31 and stores the field plan set by the field setting unit 40 in association with the cropping work plan. Specifically, the planting work plan stored in the planting plan database 31 is higher than the field plan stored in the second plan database 41, and the field set by the field setting means 40 is stored in the second plan database 41. The plan is stored as a subordinate of the cropping work plan.

  That is, after the planting work setting means 30 permits the setting of the work plan, the field setting means 40 sets the field plan and stores the set field plan in the second plan database 41. The data can be associated with the upper hierarchy and the field plan data as the lower hierarchy. In this embodiment, the field plan is set after permitting the setting of the cropping work plan by the cropping work setting means 30. However, the cropping work plan is set as the upper hierarchy, the farm field plan is set as the lower hierarchy, and the cropping work plan and the field are set. If the plan is associated, the planting work plan and the field plan may be performed simultaneously.

FIG. 4 shows an agricultural field setting screen Q2 for setting an agricultural field plan.
The field setting screen Q2 and the field setting means 40 will be described with reference to FIG.
When there is a request for creating a field plan from the management computer 3a, the field setting means 40 displays a field setting screen Q2 as shown in FIG. 4 on the management computer 3a. As shown in FIG. 4, the agricultural field setting screen Q2 includes a plan display unit 53 that displays a cropping work plan and an agricultural field display unit 54 that displays the agricultural field plan.

The work plan display unit 53 displays a crop display unit 53a that displays the crop set in the cropping work plan, and a work that displays a list of farm work set in the cropping work plan for the crop displayed in the crop display unit 53a. The display part 53b and the work period display part 53c which displays the list | wrist of the farm work period set by the cropping work plan with respect to the farm work displayed on the work display part 53b are provided.
The crop display unit 53a, the work display unit 53b, and the work period display unit 53c are arranged adjacent to each other in the left-right direction so that the relationship between the crop to be planted and the farm work and the relationship between the farm work and the farm work period can be grasped. For example, “Koshibuki” is displayed as a crop in the crop display unit 53a, “Tillage” is displayed as farm work in the work display unit 53b along with “Koshii Buki”, and in the work period display unit 53c along with “Tillage”. When “4/1 to 4/7” is displayed as the farm work period, “cultivation” is performed within “4/1 to 4/7” when “koi-buki” is cultivated on the field setting screen Q2. The planting work plan is shown.

  The work plan display unit 53 and the farm field display unit 54 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction and adjacent to each other. The field display unit 54 includes an identification display unit 54a that displays field identification information (for example, a field number, a field name, and the like) that identifies a field, and whether or not a field is set for each field indicated by the identification display unit 54a. A setting display section 54b for displaying (whether or not to apply the work plan). Specifically, the field display unit 54 sequentially arranges a plurality of field identification information (field number “1” to field number “12”) in the horizontal direction on the field setting screen Q2, and the setting display unit 54b indicates each field. A field (setting field) indicating whether or not the cropping work plan is applied is displayed immediately below the field number. The field identification information is registered in the server 2 in advance. For example, the farm identification information is registered by connecting the management computer 3a to the server 2 and registering the farm field information (field name, field area, farm identification information) owned by the administrator in the server 2 using the management computer 3a. To do.

When displaying the field setting screen Q2 as described above, the field setting means 40 extracts the cropping work plan stored in the first plan database 31. Then, the field setting means 40 refers to the extracted cropping work plan and displays on the crop display unit 53a the crop indicated by the cropping work plan (e.g., delicate spray). The farm field setting means 40 displays the farm work (for example, tillage, sowing, rice planting) indicated by the planting work plan with reference to the planting work plan on the work display unit 53b, and the farm work indicated by the planting work plan. The period (4/1 to 4/7, 4/28 to 5/1, 5/13 to 5/23) is displayed on the work period display unit 53c. Furthermore, the farm field setting means 40 displays farm field identification information (for example, farm field numbers [1] to [12]) corresponding to the farm field owned by the administrator on the identification display unit 54a.

  Next, the field setting means 40 makes it possible to set whether or not to apply the field in each setting field of the setting display section 54b shown corresponding to the identification display section 54a. For example, when the pointer 48 is set to the first setting field 58 in which the field number (farm field identification information) is “1” in the setting display unit 54 b corresponding to “Koshibuki”, the field setting unit 40 sets the field number 1 to the field number 1. A corresponding first field is set as a setting target.

  When the setting command for applying the first field is transmitted from the management computer 3a to the server 2 regarding the farm work and the farm work period related to “Koi Shibuki”, the field setting means 40 determines the farm work and farm work period related to “Koshibuki”. It holds that it is applied to the first field (“O” with application). On the other hand, when a setting command not applied to the first field is transmitted from the management computer 3a to the server 2 regarding the farm work and the farm work period related to “Koi Shibuki”, the field setting means 40 determines the farm work and farm work period related to “Koshibuki”. It holds that it is not applied to the first field (no application "-"). Then, the farm field setting means 40 displays the farm field setting state (for example, “◯”, “−”) in the first setting field 58 of the setting display unit 54b. The setting command can be issued using the input interface of the management computer 3a.

  As described above, the field setting screen Q2 is displayed on the management computer 3a by the field setting means 40, and the crop, the farm work, and the farm work period set in the cropping work plan are displayed on the field setting screen Q2, and a plurality of fields are displayed. On the other hand, by making it possible to set whether to apply crops, farm work, and farm work periods, it is possible to create a field plan associated with the cropping work plan.

  After creating the cropping work plan and the field plan, the manager creates work contents (work instruction contents) for giving detailed instructions to the farmer. For example, the management computer 3 a is connected to the server 2. Then, based on the server 2, a work instruction screen for instructing work contents is displayed on the management computer 3a (not shown). On the work instruction screen, for example, the field, farm work, farm work period, farm work time (time), farm worker who performs farm work (name of farm worker), name of farm machine that performs farm work, etc. can be set. The person inputs work contents to instruct predetermined items on the work instruction screen using the management computer 3a. The work content is stored (saved) in the server 2. When the farmer's mobile terminal 3b connects to the server 2, the server 2 transmits the work content to the farmer's mobile terminal 3b. The farmer can grasp the farm work to be performed by looking at the work content displayed on the mobile terminal 3b. During the farm work, the farm work data is stored in the data collection device 5. The farm work data stored in the data collection device 5 is transmitted to the server 2 via the portable terminal 3b, and the server 2 can analyze and evaluate the farm work using the farm work data.

Now, the planting work plan and the field plan as described above are performed every time a crop is planted. For example, in rice cultivation, a cropping work plan and a field plan are created every year (one year unit). FIG. 5 shows a flow of performing a planting work plan and a field plan in two years. In FIG. 5, for convenience of explanation, the first year is the previous year, and the second year is this year.
As shown in FIG. 5, also in the previous year, a cropping work plan (previous cropping work plan) is created by the cropping work setting means 30 (S1). The previous year field plan) is created (S2). The previous year planting work plan and the previous year field plan are stored in the first plan database 31 and the second plan database 41, respectively (S3, S4).

Now, in this year as well, a cropping work plan (this year's cropping work plan) is created by setting crops, farming work, and farming work periods by the cropping work setting means 30 (S5). This year's cropping work plan is stored in the first plan database 31 (S6).
And when this year's planting work plan is completed, it will proceed to this year's farm plan (this year farm plan). When setting this year's field plan, the field setting unit 40 determines whether or not the year's cropping work plan set by the cropping work setting unit 30 is the same as the previous year's cropping work plan (S7). That is, the field setting means 40 acquires the previous year cropping work plan (crop, farm work, and farm work period) from the first plan database 31, and determines whether or not the acquired previous year cropping work plan matches this year's cropping work plan. judge. For example, if this year's cropping work plan and the previous year's cropping work plan are as shown in FIG. 6 (a), "Crop", "Agricultural work" and "Agricultural work period" in this year's cropping work plan and " Since the “crop”, “agricultural work”, and “agricultural work period” match, the farm field setting means 40 determines that this year's cropping work plan is the same as the previous year's cropping work plan. That is, since the combination of the farm work and the farm work period of the previous year's cropping work plan matches the combination of the farm work and the farm work period of the current year's crop work plan, the field setting means 40 has the same year cropping work plan as the previous year's crop work plan. Judge that there is.

  On the other hand, if this year's cropping work plan and the previous year's cropping work plan are as shown in Fig. 6 (b), the farming period of tillage in the previous year's cropping work plan is "4/1-4/7". Since the farming period of tillage in the plan is “4/12 to 4/15”, the farming periods do not match. Also, other farming periods do not match. In such a case, the field setting means 40 determines that this year's cropping work plan is not the same as the previous year's cropping work plan.

  If the farming period of the main farming is the same when comparing this year's cropping work plan with the previous year's cropping work plan, the field setting means 40 matches the yearly cropping work plan with the previous year's cropping work plan. Judge that If there is no substantial difference even if the farm work periods are different, the farm field setting means 40 determines that this year's cropping work plan and the previous year's cropping work plan match.

  If this year's cropping work plan matches the previous year's cropping work plan, the field setting means 40 extracts the field plan set in relation to the previous year's cropping work plan from the second plan database 41 (S8). As described above, since the previous year field plan associated with the previous year cropping work plan is stored in the second plan database 41 after the previous year cropping work plan, the field setting means 40 can extract the previous year field plan. . Then, the field setting unit 40 sets the previous year's field plan extracted from the second plan database 41 as the current year field plan (S9). For example, when the previous year field plan as shown in FIG. 4A is extracted, the field setting unit 40 sets the previous year field plan as the current year field plan.

  If this year's cropping work plan and the previous year's cropping work plan do not match, the field setting means 40 displays a new field setting screen Q2 and sets this year's cropping plan related to this year's cropping work plan (S10). . Whether or not this year's cropping work plan and the previous year's cropping work plan match or do not match, the field setting means 40 stores the newly created field plan in the second plan database 41. (S11).

  In the above-described embodiment, the previous year's cropping work plan is compared with the previous year's cropping work plan by comparing the yearly cropping work plan with the previous year's cropping work plan. This year's cropping work plan is not limited to this, but it is determined whether or not this year's cropping work plan matches the past cropping work plan. The past field plan associated with the may be the field plan this year.

  As described above, since the agricultural support system 1 of the present invention includes the cropping work setting means 30 and the field setting means 40, the cropping work plan relating the “crop”, “farming work”, and “farming work period” is performed. Since the field plan for determining the “field” is advanced, it is possible to set a plan for performing farm work at a time that is good for the crop. FIG. 7 illustrates the relationship between the time and yield (recovery) in the first and second crops with different varieties and the like.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the peak time of the yield is seen, the peak time is different between the first crop and the second crop. Therefore, the first crop is preferably harvested in the first period, and the second crop is preferably harvested in the second period. Thus, since the harvest time when the yield reaches the peak differs between the first crop and the second crop, the farm work and the farm work period are set according to the cropping work plan so that the first crop can be harvested within the first period. Set the farm work and the farm work period according to the cropping work plan so that the second crop can be harvested within the second period. In addition, the manager can perform appropriate farming work by making a field plan for setting a field for planting the first crop and a field for planting the second crop from among a plurality of fields owned by the manager.

  It should be noted that when setting the field for planting the first crop and the second crop, the amount of work in the field plan (for example, the amount of work = the amount of work = the number of days) (Agricultural field area × number of days in the agricultural work period) is calculated, and when the work amount exceeds a predetermined value, the agricultural field for the crop is changed in the agricultural field setting. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the total work amount (a value obtained by adding the work amounts in all fields) when the farm field to be planted with "Koshibuki" is set is large, and the number of farm workers and farming If there is a possibility that the work cannot be performed due to the number of machines, etc., the 7th field is changed from “Koshihibuki” to “Koshihikari” to reduce the work amount.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the server 2 may be provided with a work amount calculating means 42 for calculating the work amount. The work amount calculating means 42 is composed of a program stored in the server 2. The work amount calculation means 42 calculates the work amount for each planting work plan using a field set in correspondence with the planting work plan. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the first farm field to the fifth farm field and the seventh farm field are set in the “Koshibuki” cropping work plan, the work amount calculation means 42 is stored in advance in the server 2. Using the registered (stored) field area, the total area of the first field to the fifth field and the seventh field is obtained, and the obtained total area and the first field to the fifth field and the seventh field are performed. Based on the total number of days in the farm work period, the total work amount is calculated (total work amount = total field area × total number of days in the farm work period). Then, the farm field setting unit 40 displays the total work amount when the “koi-buki” calculated by the work amount calculation unit 42 is planted on the farm field setting screen Q2.

The above-described work amount calculation means 42 may be anything that quantifies how much work is actually performed when setting the farm field. For example, “work volume = total field area of farm field × total number of days of farm work period ÷ (The number of farmers required for farm work) may be calculated, or other calculation formulas may be used, and the calculation formulas are not limited to those described above.
As described above, when the cropping work plan is the same as the cropping work plan stored in advance in the first plan database 31, the farm field setting unit 40 sets the field set based on the cropping work plan to the first. 2 Since it is extracted from the plan database and a new field is set, the work plan can be easily created as described above.

The cropping work setting means 30 devises a field plan according to the cropping work plan in order to permit setting of the field by the field setting means 40 after the crop, the farm work and the farm work period are set by the cropping work setting means 30. be able to. That is, an appropriate field plan can be created while looking at the cropping work plan.
The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the planting work setting unit 30 and the field setting unit 40 are provided in the server 2, but these may be provided in the management computer 3a.

  A graph of the yield and time for each crop as shown in FIG. 7 (harvest time graph) may be calculated using the farm work data collected by the data collection device 5. For example, the yield of crops harvested in the past included in the farm work data is calculated for each crop on the server 2 side, and a harvest time graph showing the relationship between the crop and the yield is created. It is desirable to display the harvest time graph on the management computer 3a at the time of planting work planning.
