Abstract
A method of measuring residue ejected from an agricultural machine as the agricultural machine harvests a field includes transmitting an electromagnetic pulse toward a volume generally rearward of the agricultural machine, measuring a reflection of the electromagnetic pulse, calculating a property of residue ejected from the agricultural machine based on the measured reflection of the electromagnetic pulse, calculating a location at which the residue is expected to land in the field, and generating a residue map correlating an amount of residue with locations in the field.
