Agricultural Machine

Abstract: This agricultural machine comprises: an image recognition system for detecting at least one of a crop row area and a ridge row area located on the ground surface of a field; a traveling device including a steering wheel; a control device for controlling the traveling device; and a start switch for instructing the start of row-following travel in which the control device controls the traveling device so as to travel along the row area detected by the image recognition system. The control device determines, on the basis of the detection result by the image recognition system, whether or not the row-following travel can be executed. When the row-following travel can be executed, the row-following travel is started in response to the row-following travel start instruction by the start switch, and when the row-following travel cannot be executed, the row-following travel is not started even if the row-following travel start instruction is issued by the start switch.
