Claim 0:
1. An agricultural system comprising:
a communication system that receives a prior information map that includes values of an agricultural characteristic corresponding to different geographic locations in a field;
a geographic position sensor that detects a geographic location of an agricultural work machine;
an in-situ sensor that detects a value indicative of a biomass characteristic corresponding to the geographic location and generates a sensor signal indicative of the value;
a processing system that receives the sensor signal and is configured 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;
a predictive model generator that generates a predictive agricultural model that models a relationship between the agricultural characteristic and the biomass characteristic based on a value of the agricultural characteristic in the prior information map at the geographic location and the value of the biomass characteristic detected by the in-situ sensor corresponding to the geographic location; and
a predictive map generator that generates a functional predictive agricultural map of the field based on the values of the agricultural characteristic in the prior information map and based on the predictive agricultural model, the functional predictive agricultural map mapping predictive values of the biomass characteristic to the different geographic locations in the field.
