Claim 11:
12. A computer implemented method of generating a functional predictive agricultural map, comprising:
receiving a prior information map that indicates values of an agricultural characteristic corresponding to different geographic locations in a field;
detecting a geographic location of an agricultural work machine;
detecting, with an in-situ sensor, a value indicative of a biomass characteristic corresponding to the geographic location and generating a sensor signal indicative of the value;
processing the sensor signal to identify, as a value of the biomass characteristic, a value of vegetation volume indicative of a volume of vegetation corresponding to the geographic location;
generating a predictive agricultural model that models a relationship between the agricultural characteristic and the biomass characteristic; and
controlling a predictive map generator to generate the functional predictive agricultural map of the field that maps predictive values of the biomass characteristic to the different geographic locations in the field based on the values of the agricultural characteristic in the prior information map and the predictive agricultural model.
