1. A method for directing a cart, the method comprising:
calculating automatically, by a processor of a computer system, a total fill weight for a first combine based on a specified metric;
calculating automatically, by the processor, an estimate of fill rate, based on the specified metric;
calculating automatically, by the processor, an estimate of a current fill level for the first combine; and
directing, by the processor, the cart to unload the first combine when the current fill level for the first combine exceeds a pre-specified threshold.
