 複数の生産者端末2から圃場情報と生産者情報とが送信されると(図5AのS1)、当該各圃場情報と各生産者情報とが農業支援装置1の通信部7により受信されて、情報取得部11により取得される(S2)。このとき情報取得部11は、取得した圃場情報と生産者情報とを記憶部5に記憶させる。そして、農場設定部12が、情報取得部11により取得された複数の圃場情報に基づいて、前述したように仮想農場H2と仮想圃場H1aとを設定する(S3、図3参照)。 When farm field information and producer information are transmitted from a plurality of producer terminals 2 (S1 in FIG. 5A), the farm field information and producer information are received by the communication unit 7 of the agriculture support device 1, It is acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 (S2). At this time, the information acquisition unit 11 causes the storage unit 5 to store the acquired farm field information and producer information. Then, the farm setting unit 12 sets the virtual farm H2 and the virtual farm H1a as described above based on the plurality of farm field information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 (S3, see FIG. 3).
 また、複数の需要者端末3から需要情報が送信されると(図5AのS4)、当該各需要情報が農業支援装置1の通信部7により受信されて、情報取得部11により取得される(S5)。このとき情報取得部11は、取得した需要情報を記憶部5に記憶させる。そして、計画策定部13が、情報取得部11により取得された圃場情報、生産者情報、又は需要情報に基づいて、仮想農場H2で農作物を生産するための生産計画を策定する(S6)。この際、計画策定部13は、圃場情報、生産者情報、及び需要情報のそれぞれに含まれる各種情報のうち、1つ以上の所定情報に基づいて仮想農場H2の仮想圃場H1a毎に生産計画を策定する。 Further, when demand information is transmitted from a plurality of consumer terminals 3 (S4 in FIG. 5A), each demand information is received by the communication unit 7 of the agriculture support device 1 and acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 ( S5). At this time, the information acquisition unit 11 causes the storage unit 5 to store the acquired demand information. Then, the plan formulating unit 13 formulates a production plan for producing crops in the virtual farm H2 based on the farm field information, the producer information, or the demand information acquired by the information acquiring unit 11 (S6). At this time, the plan formulation unit 13 creates a production plan for each virtual farm field H1a of the virtual farm H2 based on one or more of the various types of information included in each of the farm field information, the producer information, and the demand information. Formulate.
 具体的には、例えば計画策定部13は、圃場情報に含まれる圃場H1での農作物の生産実績、生産者情報に含まれる生産者による農作物の生産能力、又は需要情報に含まれる農作物の需要量に基づいて、仮想農場H2の仮想圃場H1a毎に生産計画を策定する。これら以外の、圃場情報(例えば圃場H1の輪郭、圃場H1での農作物の生産状況など)、生産者情報(例えば生産者による農作物の生産実績など)、又は需要情報(例えば農作物の必要時期、サイズなど)に基づいて、計画策定部13が仮想圃場H1a毎に生産計画を策定してもよい。 Specifically, for example, the plan formulation unit 13 determines the production performance of agricultural products in the agricultural field H1 included in the agricultural field information, the production capacity of the agricultural products by the producer included in the producer information, or the demand amount of the agricultural products included in the demand information. , a production plan is formulated for each virtual field H1a of the virtual farm H2. In addition to these, field information (e.g. outline of field H1, production status of crops in field H1, etc.), producer information (e.g., production results of crops by producers, etc.), or demand information (e.g., required time, size of crops, etc.) etc.), the plan formulation unit 13 may formulate a production plan for each virtual farm field H1a.
 生産計画の策定後、計画策定部13は、生産者情報に含まれる生産者の要望を確認し、当該生産者が管理する圃場H1に対応した仮想圃場H1aの生産計画が生産者の要望を満たすか否かを判断する。ここで、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画が対応する生産者の要望を満たしていない場合に(S7:NO)、計画策定部13は、当該生産者の要望を満たすように、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画を修正する(S8)。これにより、複数の仮想圃場H1aから構成された仮想農場H2の生産計画も修正される。なお、計画策定部13は、生産者の要望を満たすか否かの判断(S7)において、複数の生産者の要望のうち、少なくとも1以上の要望、又は、所定数以上の要望を満たすことができれば、生産者の要望を満たしたと判断してもよい。 After formulating the production plan, the plan formulating unit 13 confirms the request of the producer included in the producer information, and the production plan for the virtual field H1a corresponding to the field H1 managed by the producer satisfies the request of the producer. or not. Here, if the production plan for the virtual field H1a does not satisfy the request of the corresponding producer (S7: NO), the plan formulation unit 13 adjusts the production plan for the virtual field H1a so as to satisfy the request of the producer. is corrected (S8). As a result, the production plan of the virtual farm H2 composed of a plurality of virtual fields H1a is also corrected. In addition, in the judgment (S7) as to whether or not the requests of the producers are satisfied, the plan formulation unit 13 can satisfy at least one or more of the requests of the plurality of producers, or a predetermined number or more of the requests. If possible, it may be determined that the request of the producer has been met.
 次に、供給演算部15が、計画策定部13により策定された生産計画に基づいて、仮想農場H2で農作物を生産した場合の農作物の供給予測値を演算する(S9)。この際、例えば供給演算部15は、生産計画に含まれる仮想農場H2のサイズ(面積)、圃場情報に含まれる圃場H1での農作物の生産実績、農業データベース6に含まれる農作物の収穫量の統計データ、又は気象情報などを参照し、供給予測値として仮想農場H2で農作物を生産した場合の農作物の総生産量を、所定の計算式で若しくは確率統計的に演算する。 Next, the supply calculation unit 15 calculates the predicted supply value of the crops when the crops are produced in the virtual farm H2 based on the production plan formulated by the plan formulation unit 13 (S9). At this time, for example, the supply calculation unit 15 determines the size (area) of the virtual farm H2 included in the production plan, the production results of the agricultural products in the field H1 included in the field information, and the statistics of the yield of the agricultural products included in the agricultural database 6. Data, weather information, etc. are referred to, and the total amount of crops produced in the virtual farm H2 is calculated as a predicted supply value using a predetermined formula or stochastically.
 また、需要演算部16が、情報取得部11により取得された需要情報に基づいて、農作物の需要予測値を演算する(S10)。この際、例えば供給演算部15は、情報取得部11により取得された全ての需要情報に含まれる農作物の需要量(要求量)を合計した総需要量(総要求量)を、需要予測値として演算する。 Also, the demand calculation unit 16 calculates a demand forecast value for agricultural products based on the demand information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 (S10). At this time, for example, the supply calculation unit 15 uses the total demand amount (total demand amount) obtained by summing the demand amounts (request amounts) of agricultural products included in all of the demand information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 as a demand forecast value. Calculate.
 そして、計画策定部13は、農作物毎に供給予測値(総生産量)と需要予測値(総需要量)とに基づいて、農作物の需要を満たすか否かを判断する。具体的には、例えば計画策定部13は、農作物毎に供給予測値(総生産量)と需要予測値(総需要量)とを比較し、供給予測値が需要予測値未満である場合に、農作物の需要を満たさないと判断する(図5BのS11:NO)。そして、計画策定部13は、当該需要を満たすように、即ち供給予測値が需要予測値以上になるように、1つ以上の仮想圃場H1aの生産計画を適宜修正する(S12)。これによっても、仮想農場H2の生産計画が修正される。 Then, the planning unit 13 determines whether or not the demand for agricultural products is satisfied based on the predicted supply value (total production) and the predicted demand value (total demand) for each agricultural product. Specifically, for example, the planning unit 13 compares the predicted supply value (total production) and the predicted demand value (total demand) for each crop, and if the predicted supply value is less than the predicted demand value, It is determined that the demand for agricultural products is not met (S11: NO in FIG. 5B). Then, the plan formulation unit 13 appropriately corrects the production plan for one or more virtual farms H1a so as to satisfy the demand, that is, so that the predicted supply value is greater than or equal to the predicted demand value (S12). This also corrects the production plan of the virtual farm H2.
 上述のように計画策定部13により生産計画が策定又は修正された後、情報出力部14が通信部7により、各仮想圃場H1aの生産計画を対応する圃場H1の管理者(生産者)の生産者端末2に送信(出力)する(S13)。 After the production plan is formulated or corrected by the plan formulation unit 13 as described above, the information output unit 14 transmits the production plan of each virtual field H1a to the production plan of the manager (producer) of the corresponding field H1 through the communication unit 7. It transmits (outputs) to the user terminal 2 (S13).
 生産者端末2では、農業支援装置1からの生産計画を受信すると、当該生産計画が生産者端末2に備わる記憶部に記憶される(S14)。この後、生産者が生産者端末2を操作することにより、生産者端末2の記憶部に記憶された生産計画の内容が、生産者端末2に備わる液晶ディスプレイ又はタッチパネルなどの表示部に表示される(S15)。そして、生産者が、その表示部に表示された生産計画の内容を視認して、当該生産計画に関する新たな要望を含んだ生産者情報を生産者端末2に入力すると、当該生産者情報が生産者端末2から農業支援装置1に送信される(S16)。また、生産者が新たな圃場情報を生産者端末2に入力すると、当該圃場情報が生産者端末2から農業支援装置1に送信される(S16)。 When the producer terminal 2 receives the production plan from the agriculture support device 1, the production plan is stored in the storage unit of the producer terminal 2 (S14). After that, when the producer operates the producer terminal 2, the content of the production plan stored in the storage section of the producer terminal 2 is displayed on a display section such as a liquid crystal display or a touch panel provided in the producer terminal 2. (S15). Then, when the producer visually confirms the content of the production plan displayed on the display unit and inputs producer information including a new request regarding the production plan to the producer terminal 2, the producer information is is transmitted from the user terminal 2 to the agriculture support device 1 (S16). Also, when the producer inputs new farm field information to the producer terminal 2, the farm field information is transmitted from the producer terminal 2 to the agriculture support device 1 (S16).
 農業支援装置1では、生産者端末2からの生産者情報又は圃場情報を情報取得部11が通信部7により取得すると(S17)、計画策定部13が、当該生産者情報又は圃場情報と、これらに対応する仮想圃場H1aの生産計画とを参照して、当該生産計画の修正が必要か否かを判断する。このとき、例えば、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画で示されていた農作物と異なる農作物の生産を希望する旨の要望が生産者情報に含まれていた場合、又は圃場H1のサイズ(面積)の変更が圃場情報に含まれていた場合などに、計画策定部13は、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画の修正が必要であると判断する(S18:YES)。そして、計画策定部13は、情報取得部11により取得された生産者情報又は圃場情報に基づいて、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画を修正する(S19)。情報出力部14は、計画策定部13により修正された生産計画を、通信部7により生産者端末2に送信する(S20)。 In the agriculture support device 1, when the information acquisition unit 11 acquires the producer information or the farm field information from the producer terminal 2 by the communication unit 7 (S17), the plan formulation unit 13 acquires the producer information or the farm field information, and the production plan of the virtual farm field H1a corresponding to , it is determined whether correction of the production plan is necessary. At this time, for example, if the producer information includes a request to produce crops different from those indicated in the production plan of the virtual field H1a, or if the size (area) of the field H1 is changed. If it is included in the field information, the plan formulation unit 13 determines that the production plan for the virtual field H1a needs to be corrected (S18: YES). Then, the plan formulation unit 13 corrects the production plan for the virtual farm field H1a based on the producer information or the farm field information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 (S19). The information output unit 14 transmits the production plan corrected by the plan formulation unit 13 to the producer terminal 2 through the communication unit 7 (S20).
 一方、例えば、農業機械又は資材の提供を求める旨などのような、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画で示されていた農作業を行うための要望が生産者情報に含まれていた場合、計画策定部13は、仮想圃場H1aの生産計画の修正が不要であると判断する(S18:NO)。この場合、計画策定部13は、生産計画を修正しない。 On the other hand, if the producer information includes a request for agricultural work indicated in the production plan of the virtual field H1a, such as requesting provision of agricultural machinery or materials, the plan formulation unit 13 determines that it is unnecessary to modify the production plan for the virtual field H1a (S18: NO). In this case, the planning section 13 does not correct the production plan.
 次に計画策定部13は、例えば農業データベース6(図1)を探索し、予め登録された農機具ディーラ又は農業サポートセンタなどにおける農業機械又は資材の在庫を示す在庫情報を確認して、農業機械又は資材が提供可能か否かを判断する。そして、計画策定部13は、農業機械又は資材が提供可能であれば、当該農業機械又は資材を提供可能な数量と日時などを決定する。この後、情報出力部14が、当該計画策定部13の決定結果を含む返答(要望に対する返答)を通信部7により生産者端末2に返信する(S21)。 Next, the plan formulation unit 13 searches, for example, the agricultural database 6 (FIG. 1), confirms inventory information indicating the inventory of agricultural machinery or materials in pre-registered agricultural machinery dealers, agricultural support centers, etc. Determine availability of materials. Then, if the agricultural machinery or materials can be provided, the plan formulation unit 13 determines the number of available agricultural machinery or materials, the date and time, and the like. After that, the information output unit 14 sends back a reply (response to the request) including the decision result of the plan formulation unit 13 to the producer terminal 2 through the communication unit 7 (S21).
 生産者端末2は、農業支援装置1からの返答を受信すると(S22)、当該返答内容(農業機械又は資材の提供可否、提供可能である場合には、提供可能な数量と日時など)を記憶してから、表示部に表示させる(S23)。当該表示内容を視認した生産者は、農業機械又は資材を調達して、生産計画に沿って農作業を実施することができる。 When the producer terminal 2 receives a reply from the agricultural support device 1 (S22), it stores the content of the reply (whether agricultural machinery or materials can be provided, and if it can be provided, the quantity and date and time that can be provided). After that, it is displayed on the display unit (S23). A producer who has visually recognized the content of the display can procure agricultural machinery or materials and carry out farm work according to the production plan.
 また、需要者が新たな需要情報を需要者端末3に入力すると、当該需要情報が需要者端末3から農業支援装置1に送信される(S24)。農業支援装置1では、情報取得部11が需要者端末3からの需要情報を通信部7により取得すると(S25)、計画策定部13が、当該需要情報と仮想農場H2の生産計画とを参照して、当該生産計画の修正が必要か否かを判断する。ここで、計画策定部13は、修正が必要であると判断した場合に(S26:YES)、需要情報に基づいて仮想農場H2の生産計画を修正する(S27)。情報出力部14は、計画策定部13により修正された生産計画を、通信部7により生産者端末2に送信する(S28)。 Also, when the consumer inputs new demand information to the consumer terminal 3, the demand information is transmitted from the consumer terminal 3 to the agriculture support device 1 (S24). In the agriculture support device 1, when the information acquisition unit 11 acquires the demand information from the consumer terminal 3 through the communication unit 7 (S25), the planning unit 13 refers to the demand information and the production plan of the virtual farm H2. and determine whether it is necessary to revise the production plan. Here, when the planning unit 13 determines that correction is necessary (S26: YES), it corrects the production plan of the virtual farm H2 based on the demand information (S27). The information output unit 14 transmits the production plan corrected by the plan formulation unit 13 to the producer terminal 2 through the communication unit 7 (S28).
 その後、農業支援装置1では、図5Aの処理S7から以降の処理が実行される。生産者端末2では、例えば図5Bの処理S14から以降の処理が繰り返し実行される。需要者端末3では、例えば図5Bの処理S24が繰り返し実行される。 After that, in the agriculture support device 1, the processing from S7 in FIG. 5A onwards is executed. In the producer terminal 2, for example, the processing from S14 onward in FIG. 5B is repeatedly executed. In the consumer terminal 3, for example, the process S24 of FIG. 5B is repeatedly executed.
 図5Cは、農業支援装置1及び端末装置2、3の動作の他の例を示すフローチャートである。詳しくは、図5Cは、図5Aに示した農業支援装置1及び端末装置2、3の動作の続きの動作を示している。即ち、前述の図5Bに示した動作に代えて、図5Cに示す動作が実行される。図5Cでは、図5Bに示した処理と同一の処理には、同一符号を付している。 FIG. 5C is a flowchart showing another example of operations of the agricultural support device 1 and the terminal devices 2 and 3. Specifically, FIG. 5C shows the operation following the operation of the agricultural support device 1 and the terminal devices 2 and 3 shown in FIG. 5A. That is, the operation shown in FIG. 5C is performed instead of the operation shown in FIG. 5B. In FIG. 5C, the same reference numerals are given to the same processes as those shown in FIG. 5B.
 図5Aにおいて、前述したように処理S1~S10が実行された後、農業支援装置1の計画策定部13は、例えば、生産計画などに基づく農作物の供給予測値が、需要情報に基づく農作物の需要予測値未満である場合と、当該供給予測値が需要予測値より多い所定の過剰値以上である場合に、農作物の需要を満たさないと判断する(図5CのS31:NO)。この場合、次に計画策定部13が、仮想圃場H1a及び仮想農場H2の生産計画を修正し(S12)、情報出力部14が当該修正後の生産計画を通信部7により各生産者端末2に送信(出力)する(S13)。また、需要提案部18が修正後の生産計画に基づいて、農作物の需要(販売)の抑制又は促進を提案して、情報出力部14が当該提案を通信部7により1つ以上の需要者端末3に送信(出力)する(S32)。 In FIG. 5A, after the processes S1 to S10 are executed as described above, the plan formulation unit 13 of the agriculture support device 1 determines that, for example, the supply forecast value of agricultural products based on the production plan is changed to the demand for agricultural products based on the demand information. If it is less than the predicted value and if the predicted supply value is equal to or greater than a predetermined excess value greater than the predicted demand value, it is determined that the demand for the crop is not met (S31: NO in FIG. 5C). In this case, next, the plan formulation unit 13 corrects the production plans of the virtual field H1a and the virtual farm H2 (S12), and the information output unit 14 transmits the corrected production plan to each producer terminal 2 via the communication unit 7. It transmits (outputs) (S13). In addition, the demand proposal unit 18 proposes suppression or promotion of the demand (sales) of agricultural products based on the revised production plan, and the information output unit 14 transmits the proposal to one or more consumer terminals through the communication unit 7. 3 (S32).
 需要者端末3は、農業支援装置1からの農作物の需要の抑制又は促進の提案を受信すると(S33、当該提案の内容を記憶してから、需要者端末3に備わる液晶ディスプレイ又はタッチパネルなどの表示部に表示させる(S34)。これにより、農作物の需要の抑制の提案が需要者端末3の表示部に表示された場合、当該表示を視認した需要者は、例えば農作物を店舗に陳列しないなどの、販売を抑制する措置を講じる。また、農作物の需要の促進の提案が需要者端末3の表示部に表示された場合、当該表示を視認した需要者は、例えば農作物を店頭に陳列したり、農作物の販売することを広告したりするなどの、販売を促進する措置を講じる。 When the consumer terminal 3 receives the proposal to suppress or promote the demand for agricultural products from the agriculture support device 1 (S33, after storing the content of the proposal, the display of the liquid crystal display or the touch panel provided in the consumer terminal 3 is displayed. (S34) Thus, when a proposal to curb the demand for agricultural products is displayed on the display unit of the consumer terminal 3, the consumer who sees the display may decide, for example, not to display the agricultural products in the store. In addition, when a proposal to promote the demand for agricultural products is displayed on the display unit of the consumer terminal 3, the consumer who visually recognizes the display may, for example, display the agricultural products in the store, Take measures to promote sales, such as advertising the sale of produce.
 また農業支援装置1では、生産提案部17が修正後の生産計画に基づいて、圃場H1で農作物を生産するための農作業を提案し、情報出力部14が当該提案を通信部7により1つ以上の生産者端末2に送信(出力)する(S35)。具体的には、生産提案部17は、例えば施肥などの農作業の追加若しくは減少、農作物の早期出荷、又は農業機械若しくは作業装置の変更などを提案する。なお、複数の生産者端末2に対して、生産提案部17で同一の提案をして、当該同一の提案を情報出力部14が各生産者端末2に送信するようにしてもよいし、又は生産提案部17で異なる提案をして、当該各提案を情報出力部14が対応する生産者端末2にそれぞれ送信してもよい。 In the agricultural support device 1, the production proposal unit 17 proposes farm work for producing crops in the field H1 based on the revised production plan, and the information output unit 14 makes one or more of the proposals through the communication unit 7. is transmitted (output) to the producer terminal 2 (S35). Specifically, the production proposal unit 17 proposes, for example, addition or reduction of agricultural work such as fertilization, early shipment of agricultural products, or change of agricultural machinery or work equipment. The same proposal may be made by the production proposal unit 17 to a plurality of producer terminals 2, and the information output unit 14 may transmit the same proposal to each producer terminal 2, or The production proposal unit 17 may make different proposals, and the information output unit 14 may transmit each proposal to the corresponding producer terminal 2 .
 生産者端末2は、農業支援装置1からの提案を受信すると(S36)、当該提案内容を記憶してから、表示部に表示させる(S37)。この後、生産者が、その表示部に表示された農作業の提案内容を視認して、当該提案を受容するか否かの旨、又は当該提案に対する要望を含んだ返答(生産者情報に含まれる。)を生産者端末2に入力すると、当該返答が生産者端末2から農業支援装置1に返信される(S38)。 When the producer terminal 2 receives the proposal from the agriculture support device 1 (S36), it stores the content of the proposal and displays it on the display unit (S37). After that, the producer visually recognizes the content of the farm work proposal displayed on the display unit, and determines whether or not to accept the proposal, or a response containing a request to the proposal (included in the producer information). ) is input to the producer terminal 2, the response is returned from the producer terminal 2 to the agriculture support device 1 (S38).
 農業支援装置1では、生産者端末2から返信された返答を情報取得部11が通信部7により取得すると(S39)、計画策定部13が、当該返答と生産計画とを参照して、当該生産計画の修正が必要か否かを判断する。このとき、例えば生産提案部17の提案を受容する旨が生産者端末2からの返答に含まれていた場合、計画策定部13は、生産計画の修正が不要であると判断して(S40:NO)、図5Aの処理S7から以降の処理を実行する。 In the agriculture support device 1, when the information acquisition unit 11 acquires the response sent back from the producer terminal 2 by the communication unit 7 (S39), the planning unit 13 refers to the response and the production plan, and determines the production. Determine if the plan needs modification. At this time, for example, if the response from the producer terminal 2 includes acceptance of the proposal of the production proposal unit 17, the plan formulation unit 13 determines that the production plan does not need to be corrected (S40: NO), the process from step S7 in FIG. 5A onwards is executed.
 また、例えば生産提案部17の提案を受容しない旨が生産者端末2からの返答に含まれていた場合、計画策定部13は、生産計画の修正が必要であると判断して(図5CのS40:YES)、生産計画を修正する(S41)。情報出力部14は、計画策定部13により修正された生産計画を、通信部7により生産者端末2に送信する(S42)。この後、図5Aの処理S7から以降の処理を実行する。 Further, for example, if the response from the producer terminal 2 includes that the proposal of the production proposal unit 17 is not accepted, the plan formulation unit 13 determines that the production plan needs to be revised (see FIG. 5C S40: YES), correct the production plan (S41). The information output unit 14 transmits the production plan corrected by the plan formulation unit 13 to the producer terminal 2 through the communication unit 7 (S42). After that, the process from step S7 in FIG. 5A is executed.
 次に、生産者の要望について説明する。生産者の要望は、生産者が生産者端末装置2に入力し、当該生産者端末装置2から生産者情報を農業支援装置1に送信することで、農業支援装置1が取得することができる。図6は、生産者の要望を入力する画面(要望入力画面)M10の一例を示す図である。本要望入力画面M10は、生産者端末装置2で所定の操作を行うことにより、生産者端末装置2に備わる表示部に表示される。生産者端末装置2は、要望入力画面M10に入力された情報を生産者情報として、農業支援装置1に送信する。 Next, I will explain the requests of the producers. The request of the producer can be obtained by the agricultural support device 1 by the producer inputting it to the producer terminal device 2 and transmitting the producer information from the producer terminal device 2 to the agricultural support device 1 . FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen (request input screen) M10 for inputting a producer's request. This request input screen M10 is displayed on the display unit provided in the producer terminal device 2 by performing a predetermined operation on the producer terminal device 2. FIG. The producer terminal device 2 transmits the information input to the request input screen M10 to the agriculture support device 1 as producer information.
 要望入力画面M10では、生産者の要望として、生産する農作物を入力することが可能である。要望入力画面M10において、生産実績部201は、生産者が過去に生産したことのある農作物を表示するためのキーである。例えば生産者が生産者端末装置2を操作して、生産実績部201を選択することで、生産者が過去に生産したことのある農作物が要望入力画面M10にポップアップで表示される。 On the request input screen M10, it is possible to input the crops to be produced as the producer's request. In the request input screen M10, the actual production section 201 is a key for displaying agricultural products that the producer has produced in the past. For example, when the producer operates the producer terminal device 2 and selects the production result section 201, agricultural products that the producer has produced in the past are displayed in a pop-up on the request input screen M10.
 作物指定部202は、生産者が生産したい農作物を直接入力する入力欄203、204を含んでいる。図10では、入力欄203、204を2つ例示しているが、入力欄の数は1つでもよいし、3つ以上でもよい。また、生産者が生産者端末装置2を操作することで、作物指定部202の入力欄を増減させてもよい。例えば生産者が生産者端末装置2を操作して、生産実績部201のいずれかの入力欄203、204を選択した後、当該入力欄に生産したい農作物を入力する。 The crop designation section 202 includes input fields 203 and 204 for directly entering crops that the producer wants to produce. Although two input fields 203 and 204 are illustrated in FIG. 10, the number of input fields may be one or three or more. Further, the input fields of the crop designating section 202 may be increased or decreased by the producer operating the producer terminal device 2 . For example, the producer operates the producer terminal device 2, selects one of the input fields 203 and 204 of the production result section 201, and then inputs the agricultural products to be produced in the input field.
 上記のような要望入力画面M10により、生産者は過去に生産したことのある農作物を再び生産したいという要望を入力したり、生産者がこれまで生産したことのない農作物を新たに生産したいという要望を入力したりすることができる。 Through the request input screen M10 as described above, the producer inputs a request to re-produce agricultural products that have been produced in the past, or a request to newly produce agricultural products that the producer has not produced before. can be entered.
 次に、農業支援装置1による生産計画の策定と修正の具体例を説明する。図7Aは、圃場情報と生産者情報の一例を示す図である。図7Bは、需要情報の一例を示す図である。図7Cは、生産計画の一例を示す図である。 Next, a specific example of formulating and correcting a production plan by the agricultural support device 1 will be explained. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing an example of field information and producer information. FIG. 7B is a diagram showing an example of demand information. FIG. 7C is a diagram illustrating an example of a production plan;
 農業支援装置1の情報取得部11が複数の生産者端末2から取得した圃場情報及び生産者情報より、計画策定部13は、特定情報をそれぞれ抽出して、当該特定情報を図7Aに示すように、農場設定部12により設定された仮想農場H2の各仮想圃場H1aに対応付ける。図7Aでは、特定情報として、各仮想圃場H1aに対応する圃場H1を管理している生産者の名称(識別情報)、当該圃場H1の識別情報、及び当該圃場H1で前回生産された農作物が含まれている。 From the farm field information and the producer information that the information acquisition unit 11 of the agriculture support device 1 acquires from a plurality of producer terminals 2, the plan formulation unit 13 extracts specific information, and converts the specific information as shown in FIG. 7A. is associated with each virtual field H1a of the virtual farm H2 set by the farm setting unit 12. In FIG. 7A, the identification information includes the name (identification information) of the producer who manages the field H1 corresponding to each virtual field H1a, the identification information of the field H1, and the crops previously produced in the field H1. is
 また、農業支援装置1の需要演算部16は、情報取得部11が複数の需要者端末3から取得した需要情報より、図7Bに示すように、農作物毎の需要量を演算する。そして、計画策定部13は、需要演算部16の演算結果から、農産物毎の要求の増加傾向又は減少傾向を判断する。図7Bでは、農産物である「たまねぎ」と「キャベツ」の需要量が多くて、これらの要求が増加傾向にある。また、「にんじん」、「レタス」、及び「ブロッコリ」の需要量が少なくて、これらの要求が減少傾向にある。 In addition, the demand calculation unit 16 of the agriculture support device 1 calculates the demand amount for each crop, as shown in FIG. Then, the plan formulating unit 13 judges an increasing tendency or a decreasing tendency of demand for each agricultural product from the calculation result of the demand calculation unit 16 . In FIG. 7B, the amount of demand for "onion" and "cabbage", which are agricultural products, is high, and demand for these items is on the rise. In addition, demand for "carrots", "lettuce" and "broccoli" is low and demand for these products is on the decline.
 計画策定部13は、図7Aに示す圃場情報及び生産者情報と、図7Bに示す需要情報とに基づいて、図7Cに示すように、仮想農場H2の仮想圃場H1a毎に生産計画を策定する。詳しくは、図7Bに示すように、「たまねぎ」と「キャベツ」の要求が増加傾向にあって、「にんじん」、「レタス」、及び「ブロッコリ」の要求が減少傾向にあるため、計画策定部13は、仮想圃場H1aのうち、図7Aに示すように「たまねぎ」と「キャベツ」が生産されていた圃場「001」~「005」と、「にんじん」が生産されていた圃場「006」、「007」で、図7Cに示すように「たまねぎ」を生産することを計画する。 Based on the farm field information and producer information shown in FIG. 7A and the demand information shown in FIG. 7B, the plan formulation unit 13 formulates a production plan for each virtual farm field H1a of the virtual farm H2 as shown in FIG. 7C. . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7B, requests for “onion” and “cabbage” are on the increase, and requests for “carrots”, “lettuce” and “broccoli” are on the decrease. As shown in FIG. 7A, field 13 is field "001" to "005" where "onion" and "cabbage" were produced and field "006" where "carrot" was produced among virtual fields H1a. At '007', we plan to produce 'onion' as shown in FIG. 7C.
 また、計画策定部13は、図7Aに示すように「キャベツ」が生産されていた圃場「008」~「010」と、「ブロッコリ」が生産されていた圃場「011」、「012」で、図7Cに示すように「キャベツ」を生産することを計画する。さらに、計画策定部13は、図7Aに示すように「レタス」が生産されていた圃場「013」~「015」のうち、図7Cに示すように、圃場「013」で「にんじん」を生産し、圃場「014」で「レタス」を生産し、圃場「015」で「ブロッコリ」を生産することを計画する。即ち、計画策定部13は、圃場情報、生産者情報、及び需要情報に応じて、仮想農場H2の生産計画を策定する。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 7A, the plan formulation unit 13, in fields "008" to "010" where "cabbage" was produced and fields "011" and "012" where "broccoli" was produced, We plan to produce “cabbage” as shown in FIG. 7C. Furthermore, the plan formulation unit 13, of the fields "013" to "015" where "lettuce" was produced as shown in FIG. Then, it is planned to produce "lettuce" in field "014" and to produce "broccoli" in field "015". That is, the plan formulation unit 13 formulates a production plan for the virtual farm H2 according to the field information, producer information, and demand information.

 図8Aに示すように、「たまねぎ」と「キャベツ」を生産している「生産者A」は、「たまねぎ」の生産に専念することを要望し、「レタス」を生産している「生産者E」は、生産する農作物の品目を増すことを要望している。このため、計画策定部13は、図8Bに示すように、「生産者A」に対応する仮想圃場H1aで「たまねぎ」を生産することを計画する。また、計画策定部13は、「キャベツ」の生産量をある程度確保するため、図8Aに示すように「ブロッコリ」と「キャベツ」とを生産していた「生産者D」に対応する仮想圃場H1aで、図8Bに示すように「キャベツ」だけを生産することを計画する。また、計画策定部13は、「生産者E」に対応する仮想圃場H1aで「レタス」と「にんじん」と「ブロッコリ」を生産することを計画する。 As shown in FIG. 8A, "producer A" who produces "onions" and "cabbage" requests to concentrate on the production of "onions" and "producer A" who produces "lettuce". E" wants to increase the number of agricultural products it produces. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8B, the planning section 13 plans to produce "onion" in the virtual field H1a corresponding to "producer A". In addition, in order to secure a certain amount of production of "cabbage", the plan formulation unit 13 creates a virtual farm field H1a corresponding to "producer D" that produces "broccoli" and "cabbage" as shown in FIG. 8A. So, we plan to produce only "cabbage" as shown in FIG. 8B. The planning unit 13 also plans to produce "lettuce", "carrot" and "broccoli" in the virtual field H1a corresponding to "producer E".

 農業支援装置1の供給演算部15は、情報取得部11により複数の生産者端末2から取得した各圃場情報に含まれる農作物の生産実績より、各圃場H1での農作物の前回の生産面積を抽出して、当該前回の生産面積を農作物毎に合計した総生産実績面積(図9A)を演算する。 The supply calculation unit 15 of the agriculture support device 1 extracts the previous production area of the crops in each field H1 from the production record of the crops included in each field information acquired from the plurality of producer terminals 2 by the information acquisition unit 11. Then, the total actual production area (FIG. 9A) is calculated by totaling the previous production area for each crop.
 需要演算部16は、情報取得部11により複数の需要者端末3から取得した各需要情報に含まれる農作物の需要量を抽出して、当該需要量を農作物毎に合計した総需要量を演算する。さらに、需要演算部16は、当該総需要量を得るために各農作物を生産する仮想圃場H1aの面積を、農作物毎に合計した各総需要面積(図9A)を演算する。総需要面積は、需要予測値の一例である。 The demand calculation unit 16 extracts the demand amount of agricultural products included in each demand information acquired from the plurality of consumer terminals 3 by the information acquisition unit 11, and calculates the total demand amount by summing the demand amount for each agricultural product. . Further, the demand calculation unit 16 calculates each total demand area (FIG. 9A) by totaling the area of the virtual farm field H1a in which each crop is produced in order to obtain the total demand amount for each crop. The total demand area is an example of a demand forecast value.
 計画策定部13は、情報取得部11により複数の生産者端末2から取得した各圃場情報に含まれる農作物の生産実績より、各農作物が前回生産された圃場H1と当該圃場H1の面積を抽出する。また、計画策定部13は、供給演算部15により演算された総生産実績面積と、需要演算部16により演算された総需要面積とを農作物毎に比較する。そして、計画策定部13は、上記の抽出結果と比較結果とに基づいて、仮想農場H2の生産計画として、各仮想圃場H1aで生産する農作物を決定する。 The plan formulation unit 13 extracts the field H1 in which each crop was previously produced and the area of the relevant field H1 from the production results of the crop included in each of the farm field information acquired from the plurality of producer terminals 2 by the information acquisition unit 11. . In addition, the plan formulation unit 13 compares the total actual production area calculated by the supply calculation unit 15 and the total demand area calculated by the demand calculation unit 16 for each crop. Then, the plan formulation unit 13 determines the crops to be produced in each virtual field H1a as the production plan for the virtual farm H2 based on the above extraction result and comparison result.
 また、供給演算部15は、上記のように決定された農作物毎に仮想圃場H1aの面積を合計した総生産面積(図9A)を、農作物の供給予測値として演算する。そして、計画策定部13は、農作物毎に計画策定部13により演算された総生産面積が需要演算部16により演算された総需要面積以上になるように、各仮想圃場H1aで生産する農作物を調整(変更)することにより、仮想圃場H1a及び仮想農場H2の生産計画を修正する。 In addition, the supply calculation unit 15 calculates the total production area (FIG. 9A) obtained by totaling the area of the virtual farm field H1a for each agricultural product determined as described above, as the predicted supply value of the agricultural product. Then, the planning unit 13 adjusts the crops to be produced in each virtual field H1a so that the total production area calculated by the planning unit 13 for each crop is greater than or equal to the total demand area calculated by the demand calculation unit 16. (Change) corrects the production plans of the virtual field H1a and the virtual farm H2.
 上記のように、計画策定部13が仮想農場H2の生産計画を策定し且つ修正することで、複数の生産者が管理する複数の圃場H1全体において、各農作物の供給予測値が需要予測値以上になる。図9A~図9Cに示す例では、図9Bに示す複数の農作物の総生産実績面積に大差がなかったのに対して、仮想農場H2では、需要情報に応じて、図9Cに示すように「たまねぎ」と「キャベツ」の総生産面積が、他の農作物の総生産面積より広くなっている。 As described above, the plan formulation unit 13 formulates and modifies the production plan of the virtual farm H2 so that the predicted supply value of each crop is equal to or greater than the predicted demand value in the entirety of the plurality of fields H1 managed by the plurality of producers. become. In the example shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, there was no significant difference in the total production area of the plurality of crops shown in FIG. 9B. The total production area of "onion" and "cabbage" is larger than the total production area of other crops.
 図7C及び図8Bでは、表形式の生産計画を例に示したが、例えば農作物を生産するための農作業と、当該農作業を実施する時期とを表す農作業スケジュールなどを、計画策定部13が生産計画として策定又は修正し、情報出力部14が生産者端末2に出力してもよい。 In FIGS. 7C and 8B , a production plan in tabular format is shown as an example. , and the information output unit 14 may output it to the producer terminal 2.

The 18 proposals are not limited to these. For example, the production proposal unit 17 may propose the number of workers for producing crops in the field H1, or the demand proposal unit 18 may propose changes to the crops requested or the amount of crops demanded. .
 上述した実施形態では、農業支援装置1で生産計画の策定を行った後に、生産者の要望を満たすか否かの判断を行っていたが、生産者の要望を満たすか否かの判断を行う前に、生産者の要望の再確認を行ってもよい。この場合の実施形態を図10に示す。図10は、農業支援装置1と端末装置2、3の動作の変形例を示すフローチャートである。図10に示す動作は、図5Aに示した動作に代えて実行される。 In the above-described embodiment, after the production plan is formulated by the agricultural support device 1, it is determined whether or not the producer's request is satisfied. You may reconfirm the producer's request before. An embodiment in this case is shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing a modification of the operations of the agriculture support device 1 and the terminal devices 2 and 3. FIG. The operations shown in FIG. 10 are performed instead of the operations shown in FIG. 5A.
 図10において、農業支援装置1の計画策定部13で生産計画が策定されると(S6)、情報出力部14が当該生産計画を生産者端末装置2に送信する(S50)。生産者端末装置2は、生産計画を受信すると(S51)、当該生産計画を表示部に表示する(S52)。また、生産者端末装置2は、処理S1で農業支援装置1に送信した生産者情報に含まれる生産者の要望を表示部に表示して(S53)、要望確認処理を実行する(S54)。要望確認処理では、生産者端末装置2は、生産者による所定操作を受けて、前述の要望入力画面M10(図10)を表示部に表示させる。このとき、生産者端末装置2は、処理S1で農業支援装置1に送信した生産者情報に含まれる生産者の要望を要望入力画面M10に表示させる。 In FIG. 10, when the production plan is formulated by the plan formulation unit 13 of the agriculture support device 1 (S6), the information output unit 14 transmits the production plan to the producer terminal device 2 (S50). When the producer terminal device 2 receives the production plan (S51), it displays the production plan on the display unit (S52). The producer terminal device 2 also displays the producer's request included in the producer information transmitted to the agriculture support device 1 in the process S1 on the display unit (S53), and executes the request confirmation process (S54). In the request confirmation process, the producer terminal device 2 receives a predetermined operation by the producer and displays the aforementioned request input screen M10 (FIG. 10) on the display unit. At this time, the producer terminal device 2 causes the producer's request included in the producer information transmitted to the agriculture support device 1 in the process S1 to be displayed on the request input screen M10.
 また、生産者端末装置2は、要望入力画面M10に表示された要望の変更を受け付ける。即ち、生産者端末装置2は、要望入力画面M10において、生産者が生産したい農作物の変更を受け付ける。要望入力画面M10で要望(生産したい農作物)が変更された場合、生産者端末装置2は、要望が変更された旨と変更後の要望とを含む要望変更通知を農業支援装置1に送信する(S55)。農業支援装置1は、要望変更通知を受信した場合(S56)、当該要望変更通知に含まれる変更後の要望で、記憶部5に記憶された生産者情報に含まれる生産者の要望を更新し、当該変更後の要望を用いて、生産者の要望を満たすか否かを判断する(S7)。 The producer terminal device 2 also accepts changes to the requests displayed on the request input screen M10. That is, the producer terminal device 2 accepts changes in the agricultural products that the producer wants to produce on the request input screen M10. When the request (agricultural product to be produced) is changed on the request input screen M10, the producer terminal device 2 transmits a request change notification including the fact that the request has been changed and the request after the change to the agriculture support device 1 ( S55). When receiving the request change notification (S56), the agriculture support device 1 updates the producer's request included in the producer information stored in the storage unit 5 with the changed request included in the request change notification. , using the changed request, it is determined whether or not the request of the producer is satisfied (S7).
 一方、要望入力画面M10で要望が変更されなかった場合、生産者端末装置2は、例えば、要望が変更されなかった旨を示す要望無変更通知を農業支援装置1に送信する(S55)。農業支援装置1は、当該要望無変更通知を受信した場合(S56)、記憶部5に記憶された生産者情報を更新せず、当該生産者情報に含まれる要望を用いて、生産者の要望を満たすか否かを判断する(S7)。他の例として、要望入力画面M10で要望が変更されなかった場合、生産者端末装置2が上記要望無変更通知を農業支援装置1に送信しなくてもよい。 On the other hand, if the request has not been changed on the request input screen M10, the producer terminal device 2, for example, transmits a no-change notification indicating that the request has not been changed to the agriculture support device 1 (S55). When the request no change notification is received (S56), the agriculture support device 1 does not update the producer information stored in the storage unit 5, and uses the request included in the producer information to update the producer's request. (S7). As another example, if the request is not changed on the request input screen M10, the producer terminal device 2 does not need to send the notification of no change in request to the agriculture support device 1 .
