Abstract
A crop feed rate control system provides crop processing data to a vehicle control system. The crop feed rate control system includes one or more feedback systems that operably provide a feedback signal including data indicative of a detected load amount for crop processing components of the crop processing system and indicative of a target load amount for the crop processing components. A first control module receives the feedback signal and generates a controlling load signal based at least upon the feedback signal, the controlling load signal being indicative of a controlling component of the crop processing components. A second control module receives a targeted load signal and the controlling load signal, the second control module operably generating crop processing data indicative of a target harvesting rate.
