Abstract
A method of controlling an agricultural harvesting machine having a harvesting device configured to engage and cut crop on a field. The method includes receiving an indication of field topography in a first area of the field prior to the first area being harvested, controlling a position of the harvesting device to harvest the crop in the first area based on the indication of field topography in the first area, receiving in-situ data from the first area of the field after the first area is harvested by the harvesting device, receiving an indication of field topography in a second area of the field prior to the second area being harvested, and controlling the position of the harvesting device to harvest the crop in the second area based on the in-situ data and the indication of field topography in the second area.
