Abstract
An agricultural assistance system includes a sensor in or on an unmanned aerial vehicle to perform sensing of a shape of an agricultural field when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies over the agricultural field, and a line creator configured or programmed to create a planned travel line for automatic operation of an agricultural machine. The line creator is configured or programmed to acquire the shape of the agricultural field obtained by the sensing before the automatic operation of the agricultural machine, and create the planned travel line on a virtual field representing the acquired shape of the agricultural field.
