Abstract

A method for controlling one or more operating parameters of a forage harvester includes picking up harvested crop from a field by means of a harvesting attachment, processing the harvested crop by means of a chopping device and/or a post-processing device, and ejecting the processed harvested crop onto a loading container. An image of the processed ground-borne harvested crop is recorded by a camera, and an operating parameter of the forage harvester is set or adjusted with a control unit using the image.
