1. An agricultural crop harvester comprising:

  • a tank in which harvested crops are stored;

    at least one sensor configured to determine a stored amount of harvested crops stored in the tank and provide stored amount information;

    a stored amount calculation section operatively connected to the at least one sensor and configured to calculate a current stored amount of harvested crops stored in the tank based on the stored amount information from the at least one sensor, the current stored amount being determined when the harvester performs a harvesting work while traveling;

    a communication section which receives drier operation information indicative of a drier operational status transmitted from a drying facility;
