1. An agricultural system for automatically determining losses for harvesting operations, the agricultural system comprising:
a loss sensor supported on an agricultural harvester and having a field of view directed toward a portion of a field aft of a base cutter of the agricultural harvester, the loss sensor being configured to generate data indicative of ground losses; and
a computing system communicatively coupled to the loss sensor, the computing system being configured to:
identify non-height related ground losses during a harvesting operation of the agricultural harvester based at least in part on the data generated by the loss sensor; and
initiate a control action in response to the non-height related ground losses.
