Fuente: Wipo "precision farming" The present teachings relate to a method for validating an agricultural farming operation prior to and/or during executing an agricultural farming operation at a geographical location using a machine, the machine being operatively coupled to a computing unit, which method comprises: —providing to the computing unit one or more signals retrieved from the machine; the one or more signals being indicative of one or more parameters related to the machine and/or to the farming operation; —determining, via the computing unit, whether any one or more of the parameters related to the machine and/or to the farming operation lie within an acceptable range or value, which acceptable range or value is specified using field specific data that are provided at a memory storage operatively coupled to the computing unit; and—generating, via the computing unit, an output signal in response to the determination; wherein the output signal is usable for validating and/or specifying the farming operation to monitor and/or control the machine. The teachings also relate to a machine, a software product and a computing unit.
