An agricultural header comprises a first side draper belt, a second side draper belt, a first center draper belt, a second center draper belt, and a crop divider. The first and second center draper belts are positioned laterally between the first and second side draper belts which extend laterally outwardly in opposite directions away from the first and second center draper belts. Each of the first and second side draper belts are arranged to feed crop material laterally inwardly, and each of the first and second center draper belts are arranged to feed crop material rearwardly for processing by the agricultural harvester. The crop divider is positioned laterally between the first and second center draper belts to separate crop material fed laterally inwardly from the first and second side draper belts respectively to the first and second center draper belts.

An agricultural operation evaluation system for an agricultural work vehicle includes an offboard device configured to collect offboard feedback associated with the agricultural operation and location information; and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the offboard feedback and the location information for the offboard feedback from the offboard device; determine at least one offboard input parameter from the offboard feedback; receive machine data including at least one onboard input parameter and location information for the least one onboard input parameter; correlate the at least one offboard input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter based on the location information for the at least one offboard input parameter and the location information for the at least one onboard input parameter; and determine one or more vehicle adjustments based on the correlated at least one offboard input parameter and at least one onboard input parameter.
