1. A computer-aided farming system, comprising:

  • a first control system adapted to receive data defining a plurality of parameters and responsively determine a plurality of nodes located at an agricultural field, the first control system being further adapted to determine a condition status associated with each of the nodes, the condition status at each node being a function of the parameters;

    a second control system located on an agricultural machine and adapted to receive data defining the nodes and the condition status at each node, the second control system being further adapted to plan a path as a function of the nodes and to determine a desired work operation relative to each node, the desired work operation being a function of the condition status at each node; and

    a machine controller located on the agricultural machine and adapted to control the agricultural machine to perform the desired work operation at each respective node.
