An agricultural planting machine includes a frame and a planting system supported on the frame and configured to plant seeds in a row. The planting system includes a ground-engaging element movable relative to the frame and configured to engage a ground surface of a field. A field contour detection system is configured to receive in-situ sensor data representing a location of the ground-engaging element, generate field contour data representing a contour of the ground surface based on the in-situ sensor data, and generate a control signal based on the field contour data.

A work machine includes a chassis, a header, and a control system. The header is coupled to the chassis and positioned to remove crop material from the ground. The header includes a reel to draw crop material into the header so that the crop material may be conveyed rearwardly and a plurality of actuators to move the reel relative to a frame of the header in use of the work machine. The control system is coupled to the chassis and includes a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of actuators and a single user input communicatively coupled to the controller that is configured to provide an input signal to the controller.

A shroud for the infeed section impeller in a rotary combine. The shroud includes a rear converging wall cone and a front diverging wall cone. A feed plate extends transversely across the front of the shroud and a sump is formed in the shroud behind the feed plate. The front diverging wall cone comprises top and bottom, rearwardly diverging walls. Transitions castings separate the top and bottom walls on left and right sides and have rearwardly converging front faces.
