A method and apparatus for controlling an agricultural harvesting campaign is disclosed in which predetermined harvesting activities are processed within a campaign timeline by a plurality of agricultural working machines of a machine fleet on a field allotment assigned to the harvesting campaign. The control of the harvesting campaign is executed on different application levels by continuously generating information, wherein the generated information is continuously provided to all of the application levels, and the generated data comprise remotely-sensed field information.

System and method for controlling an agricultural harvesting campaign

A self-propelled harvesting machine for harvesting a crop field has a ground drive including multiple working units, a control system and a sensor system. The sensor system periodically emits transmitted pulses of electromagnetic transmission beams in at least one transmission direction onto the crop field and the transmitted pulses are reflected on the crop field and are received as echo pulses by the sensor system. For at least one portion of the transmitted pulses, different partial beams of a single transmission beam are reflected by plants of the crop field lying one behind the other with a time offset, so the particular resultant echo pulse is composed of time-offset partial echo pulses. The control system determines a value for the crop density on the basis of a time correlation within the resultant echo pulse, and controls the ground drive and/or the working units on the basis of the determined crop density.
