Estimating the term…
An agricultural harvester includes a header, a feedback sensor for generating a feedback signal representative of a current feed rate of crop through the harvester, a feed forward sensor for generating a feed forward signal representative of a biomass of crop ahead of the header, and a controller operably coupled to the feedback sensor and the feed forward sensor. The controller determines a predicted feed rate of crop through the harvester based on the feed forward signal and an actual feed rate of crop through the harvester based on the feedback signal. The controller controls an operational setting of the agricultural harvester in dependence of a discrepancy between the predicted feed rate and the actual feed rate.
An agricultural harvester, comprising:
A method for controlling an agricultural harvester comprising a header, the method comprising:
A method for controlling an agricultural harvester, wherein the feed forward signal is received from a feed forward sensor mounted to a drone that is overseeing a harvesting operation performed by the agricultural harvester.
