One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

A prescribed feedrate of material through the mobile harvesting machine and an actual feedrate of material through the mobile harvesting machine are detected, and a feedrate difference between the prescribed feedrate and the actual feedrate is identified. Wheel slippage of the mobile harvesting machine is also detected. Based on the feedrate difference between the prescribed feedrate and the actual feedrate and based on the detected wheel slippage, a speed control signal that controls speed of the mobile harvesting machine is generated.
