To provide a farm work supporting system capable of reducing a calculation amount for routing.SOLUTION: A farm work supporting system (100) includes: a work vehicle (1) that is mounted with a positioning device (120) for measuring an own vehicle position representing a positioning point (203) and that can travel in a farm field (F); and a control device (160) for controlling an automatic travel of the work vehicle (1) in the farm field (F). The control device (160) has: an acquirement unit (1431) for acquiring, as shape information of the farm field (F), the positioning point (203) acquired from the positioning device (120) in a period when the work vehicle (1) is traveling along an outer periphery of the farm field (F); and a setting unit (1432) for setting, as a work area (210) where the work vehicle (1) can automatically travel, a quadrangular area based on the positioning point (203) that are arbitrarily selected from among a plurality of positioning points (203) in the shape information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】経路設定の演算量を低減することができる農作業支援システムを提供すること。【解決手段】実施形態の一態様に係る農作業支援システム（１００）は、測位点（２０３）である自車位置を測定する測位装置（１２０）が搭載され、圃場（Ｆ）を走行可能な作業車両（１）と、圃場（Ｆ）における作業車両（１）の自動走行を制御する制御装置（１６０）と、を備え、制御装置（１６０）は、作業車両（１）が圃場（Ｆ）の外周に沿って走行している期間において、測位装置（１２０）から取得した測位点（２０３）を圃場（Ｆ）の形状情報として取得する取得部（１４３１）と、形状情報における複数の測位点（２０３）のうち、任意に選択された測位点（２０３）に基づく四角形の領域を作業車両（１）が自動走行可能な作業エリア（２１０）として設定する設定部（１４３２）とを備えることを特徴とする。【選択図】図４
