A method for planning an agricultural post-processing operation along a post-processing route includes carrying out an agricultural pre-processing operation by a pre-processing machine along a pre-processing route, using a recording system to record the pre-processing route, determining the post-processing route to be worked by a post-processing machine on the basis of the recorded pre-processing route. The recording system records a processing setting of the pre-processing operation and the planning device determines the post-processing route on the basis of the processing setting.
