A system for managing data files used in the operation of agricultural machines comprises an agricultural machine and a software application executed by a processing element on a mobile electronic device. The agricultural machine includes a mechanical component that performs an operation in a field and a control system for controlling functioning of the mechanical component. The control system includes a processing element which receives a work order file from an external electronic device and controls the functioning of the mechanical component according to instructions in the work order file. The mobile electronic device includes a location determining element configured to determine a current geolocation of the mobile electronic device. The software application instructs the processing element to receive the current geolocation from the location determining element and transmit to the agricultural machine at least one work order file associated with the current geolocation.
