AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM

An agricultural work system for optimizing agricultural work flows has at least one agricultural work unit and a plurality of functional units, each having a control device for controlling the respective functional unit based on a stored set of rules. The agricultural work system has a central pattern recognition system which stores at least one agricultural work situation as a situation pattern. Work situation-specific information is transferrable to the pattern recognition system which identifies a stored work situation and the associated situation pattern based on the obtained information and transmits meta-information (M) characterizing the identified work situation to the functional units. The pattern recognition system and/or the control devices coordinate the cooperation of those functional units which work together in the identified work situation based on the meta-information so that the control devices carry out corresponding parameter adjustments of the associated functional unit.
