## Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program to cause a computer to perform acquiring agricultural field information relating to an agricultural field, and, based on the acquired agricultural field information, outputting an agricultural field object representing the agricultural field in a virtual space. Preferably, the computer program is configured to cause a computer to perform acquiring agricultural machine information relating to an agricultural machine, based on the acquired agricultural machine information, outputting an agricultural machine object representing the agricultural machine in the virtual space, receiving an operation relating to the agricultural machine object, based on the received operation, performing a movement of the agricultural machine object relative to the agricultural field object in the virtual space, and, causing the agricultural field object to change in the virtual space according to the movement of the agricultural machine object.

## Claims

acquiring agricultural machine information relating to an agricultural machine;
based on the acquired agricultural machine information, outputting an agricultural machine object representing the agricultural machine in the virtual space;
receiving an operation relating to the agricultural machine object;
based on the received operation, performing a movement of the agricultural machine object relative to the agricultural field object in the virtual space; and
causing the agricultural field object to change in the virtual space according to the movement of the agricultural machine object.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the computer program is configured to cause a computer to perform:
acquiring crop information relating to at least one type of crop;
receiving a selection of one of the at least one type of crop included in the crop information;
outputting one or more crop objects representing one or more crops of the selected one of the at least one type to the agricultural field object;
based on the received operation, performing the movement of the agricultural machine object relative to the one or more crop objects in the virtual space; and
causing the one or more crop objects to change in the virtual space according to the movement of the agricultural machine object.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein
the agricultural machine information includes a fee for using the agricultural machine in the agricultural field; and
the computer program is configured to cause a computer to perform, after performing the movement of the agricultural machine object, receiving a payment of the fee.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the computer program is configured to cause a computer to perform outputting a movement log relating to the agricultural machine object.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the computer program is configured to cause a computer to perform:
acquiring crop information relating to at least one type of crop;
acquiring environment information relating to an environment including weather;
receiving a selection of one of the at least one type of crop;
outputting one or more crop objects representing one or more crops of the selected one of the at least one type to the agricultural field object; and
causing the one or more crop objects representing the one or more crops of the selected one of the at least one type to change in the virtual space according to a change in the environment.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the computer program is configured to cause a computer to perform:
