Abstract
A biomass estimating system for an agricultural harvester includes a sensor arrangement disposed to sense standing crop adjacent to the agricultural harvester and disposed to sense a portion of ground adjacent to the agricultural harvester that has been previously harvested. An ECU receives signals indicating the standing crop and signals indicating the portion of the ground and calculates an estimated biomass of the standing crop based at least upon the signals indicating the standing crop and the signals indicating the portion of ground.
