Abstract: The disclosure refers to a method for determining and storing surface conditions for a field, comprising: moving an agricultural machine having an earth-working roller system over a field, the earth-working roller system comprising an earth-working roller assembly; detecting sensor signals for an oscillating movement of the earth-working roller assembly; detecting position data for the movement of the earth-working roller system over the field; generating a digital surface map for the field indicative of position-dependent roughness and/or leveling information, the generating comprising assigning the sensor signals to the position data; and storing the digital surface map in a data storage device. Further, a system for determining and storing surface conditions for a field is provided.
