One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural system. The one or more information maps map one or more characteristic values at different geographic locations in a worksite. An in-situ sensor detects a material dynamics characteristic value as a mobile machine operates at the worksite. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive material dynamics characteristic value at different geographic locations in the worksite based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the material dynamics characteristic value detected by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

A harvester system that includes a work vehicle. A harvester attachment removably couples to the work vehicle. The harvester attachment includes a tool bar. A quick connector couples to the tool bar. The quick connector removably couples and uncouples the harvester attachment to the work vehicle. A support system removably couples to the work vehicle. The support system supports operation of the harvester attachment.

Harvesting fruits or vegetablescomprises providing a tractor and a plurality of storage bins in a supply location for the fruit or vegetable; deploying the storage bins to a harvesting area using the tractor; providing a harvester; harvesting fruit or vegetable and storing same in the storage bins at the harvesting area; relocating the fruit or vegetable in the filled storage bins with the tractor to a storage location; providing an operation control and management system (OCMS) configured to receive and process data; receiving storage bin location data indicative of a location of the storage bins from the storage bins; receiving harvesting data indicative of at least one harvesting process parameter in the OCMS; and providing tractor control data in the OCMS in response the received process parameter(s). Tractor control data controls an operation mode of the tractor for deploying and/or relocatingthe storage bins. Also a system is disclosed.

A harvester having a harvesting structure, an accumulator, and a module builder having a throat. A plurality of meter rollers are positioned to receive crop and transfer crop at a feed rate in cooperation with a beater roller. A feeder belt receives crop from the meter rollers and the beater roller and transfers the crop to the throat. A feed rate control system comprises at least one crop mass flow feedback device providing a crop mass flow feedback signal indicative of crop mass flow. A controller is provided that is in communication with the at least one crop mass flow feedback device and configured to operate in a first mode by lowering the feed rate when the crop mass flow feedback signal indicates a threshold has been reached and by raising the feed rate when the crop mass flow feedback signal indicates the threshold has not been reached.
