A controller for a work vehicle is configured or programmed to operate in a recording mode to generate and record waypoint information while the work vehicle is traveling along a path including main paths extending parallel or substantially parallel to crop rows and turning paths, the waypoint information including first information concerning the position of the work vehicle and second information concerning the state of the work vehicle, and to operate in a reproducing mode to control operation of the work vehicle based on the recorded waypoint information, and, when an obstacle is detected while the work vehicle is traveling along one of the turning paths, control travel of the work vehicle to avoid the obstacle and move toward a specific point on a main path to be traveled next. The specific point is determined based on the second information included in the waypoint information.
