An operator assistance system for an agricultural machine which has at least one variable operating parameter which influences a plurality of different result parameters of the working result of the machine is equipped with an input device, a processor and a display device. The processor is programmed to receive, via the input device an input of a selectable result parameter, to be optimized, of the working result for an operation to be carried out, to calculate an optimized operating parameter on the basis of the input, and to output, on the display device, an expected value, associated with the optimized operating parameter, for the working result of the machine for the operation.
