Abstract
An agricultural machine includes a turn generation system that identifies a turn start point and turn end point that indicate the starting point and ending point, respectively, of a turn that the agricultural machine will make to transition from a current pass to a subsequent pass. The guidance system identifies a turn contour and projects that contour onto a headland area of the field. The turn generation system generates a turn path based upon the turn starting and ending points and the turn path contour.
