AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING FEEDER THROUGHPUT OF A HARVESTER

An agricultural system for monitoring throughput of a feeder (34) configured for use with a harvester (10) performing a harvesting operation within a field may include a feeder housing and a feed assembly (35) configured to direct a first flow of harvested materials (F1) and a second flow of harvested materials (F2) through the feeder (34). The agricultural system may further include a first sensor (102) configured to generate first data indicative of the first flow of harvested materials (F1) through a first lateral section (LS1) of the feeder (34). Similarly, the agricultural system may include a second sensor (102) configured to generate second data indicative of the second flow of harvested materials (F2) through a second lateral section (LS2) of the feeder (34). Additionally, the agricultural system may include a computing system (202) configured to determine whether the harvester (10) is on-row based at least in part on the first data and the second data.
