Abstract
An agricultural machine includes a vehicle body, a travel switch operable to issue a command to start autonomous travel of the vehicle body, and an autonomous travel controller to perform autonomous travel of the vehicle body based on a planned travel line when the command is issued. When the command is issued by operating the travel switch, if at least one of a positional deviation between the planned travel line that is selected and the vehicle body and an orientational deviation between the planned travel line and an orientation of the vehicle body is greater than or equal to a corresponding one of respective first thresholds, the autonomous travel controller is configured or programmed to perform line alignment to make the positional deviation and the orientational deviation less than the respective first thresholds.
