Abstract
A combine for reaping culms in a field while traveling, and accumulating, in a grain tank 2, grains obtained by threshing reaped culms, includes: a yield calculator for calculating a yield per unit of travel, which is a yield per unit of travel distance; a work travel determiner 53 for determining non-harvest work travel that does not involve grain harvesting, and harvest work travel that involves grain harvesting; a harvest map data generator 66 for generating harvest map data in which the yield per unit of travel, a travel route on which the combine has traveled in a field, and a result of determination performed by the work travel determiner are associated with one another; and a harvest information recorder for recording the harvest map data.
