Abstract
In one aspect, the present subject matter is directed to a system which includes a row crop mitigation system configured to mitigate damage to a row crop by changing a steer angle of a ground engaging element of an agricultural work vehicle. The row crop mitigation system includes a crop row sensor configured to generate crop plant data, as well as a mitigation steering controller configured to selectively change the steer angle of the ground engaging element of the agricultural work vehicle. The mitigation steering controller having an inactive state in which the mitigation steering controller does not change a steer angle of the ground engaging element, and an active state in which the mitigation steering controller is configured to generate a mitigation steer angle command to change the steer angle of the ground engaging element.
