Method for planning a process chain for agricultural labor input

The invention relates to a method (1) for planning a process chain for an agricultural working insert having a first resource entirety a first type of agricultural machines (4a, 4b), preferably harvesting machines such as combine harvesters or forage harvesters, and a second resource entirety of a second type of agricultural machinery (5) such as transportation vehicles, and an arrangement for implementing the method. The method comprises the steps of: determining (10) the number of coming machines used in the first and in the second resource entirety as a function of period of use, type of operation and field to be worked surface; Determining (20) a plurality of alternative first part process chains (21, 21a) for the first resource set; Determining (30) at least one second thread chain (31, 31a) for the second resource entirety for each of the alternative first part process chains (21, 21a); Combining (40) the alternative first thread chains (21, 21a) with the respective associated at least one second thread chain (31, 31a) to a plurality of overall process chains (41, 41a); Selecting (50) one (51, 51a) of the overall process chains.
