A method includes automatically harvesting a first amount of feed crop in a part of a crop field by an autonomous, unmanned device; automatically loading the first amount of harvested feed crop directly into a storage space provided on the autonomous, unmanned device; automatically transporting the first amount of harvested feed crop from the crop field to a crop processing location by the autonomous, unmanned device; automatically unloading the first amount of harvested feed crop from the storage space of the autonomous, unmanned device at the crop processing location; and processing the first amount of harvested feed crop at the crop processing location by the crop processor. The control device is configured for controlling the autonomous, unmanned device to repeat the steps to harvest a second amount of feed crop, and for monitoring of the processing of the first amount of harvested feed crop by the crop processor.
