The present invention pertains to a method to enable a
human operator to have a piece of land cultivated, the method comprising providing an autonomous agricultural vehicle that is able to perform an agricultural operation, providing a
processing unit to generate a cultivation plan for the piece of land, which plan comprises multiple distinct paths that spatially extend over the piece of land, e.g in parallel, in which plan the piece of land is divided into a
headland section and a mainland section, providing input data to the
processing unit, on the basis of which input data the
processing unit calculates for the multiple distinct paths, a) the positioning of the paths on the piece of land and b) the direction in which the paths extend over the piece of land, and controlling the autonomous agricultural vehicle such that it autonomously crosses the land by moving over the said multiple distinct paths, while performing the agricultural operation in order to cultivate the piece of land, wherein in the method, before the agricultural vehicle is controlled to cross the land, the
human operator is provided the option to determine that either the
headland section or the mainland section are exclusively cultivated. The invention also pertains to a method and
system for generating a cultivation plan for such an autonomous vehicle.
