Claim 8:
9. An agricultural system, comprising:
a header configured to harvest crops;
a first sensor mounted on the header;
a second mounted on the header; and
a steering system configured to adjust a position of the header;
a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is configured to:
receive first one-dimensional (1D) distance data from the first sensor and second 1D distance data from the second sensor;
determine a first horizontal distance from the first sensor to a first plant stalk based on the first 1D distance data;
determine a second horizontal distance from the second sensor to a second plant stalk based on the second 1D distance data; and
control the steering system of the agricultural system to adjust a position of the header relative to the first and second plant stalks based on a difference between the first horizontal distance and the second horizontal distance.
