A work machine includes a work machine actuator, a position sensor configured to sense a geographic position of the work machine on a worksite and a control system configured to receive an indication of a thematic map of the worksite that maps variable values to different geographic locations on the worksite, generate a set of clusters based on the variable values and a geospatial control zone constraint, identify, based on the set of clusters, a plurality of control zones that are correlated to the worksite and have associated setting values, and generate control signals to control the work machine actuator based on the geographic position of the work machine relative to the plurality of control zones and the setting values associated with the control zones.

A crop orientation system includes a controller having a processor and memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions. The processor executes the stored instructions to: determine first heading values for a first vehicle at intervals during a first crop planting event over a first field; generate a first set of histogram values representing the first heading values for the first vehicle during at least a portion of the first crop planting event over the first field; and generate display signals to render a first histogram display based on the first set of histogram values for a first user associated with the first vehicle.
