Abstract
An agricultural system for determining crop loss of an agricultural harvester may include a support beam extending along a lateral direction between first and second lateral ends, and one or more impact sensors supported on the support beam. Each of the one or more impact sensors is configured to generate data indicative of a crop impact location of each crop impact of a plurality of crop impacts on the support beam between the first and second lateral ends. Additionally, the agricultural system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to the one or more impact sensors, where the computing system is configured to determine the crop impact location of each crop impact of the plurality of crop impacts on the support beam between the first and second lateral ends based at least in part on the data from the one or more impact sensors.
