After discussing the aspects related to the information role and management on farms, the paper proposes a solution for the development of an information system specifically designed to collect data from field operations. The system employs radio frequency devices to perform an automatic identification of all the "objects" acting in each field process (worker, tractor, implement, field). Collected data are elaborated and then used by the farmer for management and strategic control activities. Static tests were developed to identify the machine in the field. The system is under further development.
