1. An agricultural system comprising:
an in-situ sensor that detects a value of an operator input corresponding to a first geographic location in a field;
one or more processors;
memory;
computer executable instructions, stored in the memory, and executable by the one or more processors, the computer executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to:
obtain an information map that includes values of an agricultural characteristic corresponding to the different geographic locations in the field;
identify a predictive value of the operator input corresponding to a second geographic location in the field based on a value of the agricultural characteristic in the information map at the first geographic location and the value of the operator input, detected by the in-situ sensor, corresponding to the first geographic location; and
generate a control signal to control a controllable subsystem of an agricultural work machine based on the predictive value of the operator input.
