Abstract
A georeferenced probability distribution is generated indicating a probability that a harvester will reach its full capacity at different locations in a field. A control signal is generated to control the harvester based upon the georeferenced probability distribution. The control signal is used to control one of a plurality of different controllable subsystems, such as the propulsion system (to control harvester speed), a steering subsystem (to control the harvester's path), or other controllable subsystems.
