1. An agricultural harvesting system comprising:
a harvesting logistics module that obtains a yield map that maps yield values to different geographic locations in a worksite and a speed map that maps speed values, indicative of a speed of an agricultural harvester, to the different geographic locations in the worksite, the harvesting logistics module comprising;
harvester full logic that identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to a threshold level, based on the yield map;
material transfer location identifier logic that identifies, as a material transfer location, a geographic location in the worksite at which a material transfer operation is to start based on the geographic location at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to the threshold level; and
arrival time logic that identifies a time at which the agricultural harvester will arrive at the material transfer location, based on the speed map; and
a control system that generates a control signal based on the time at which the agricultural harvester will arrive at the material transfer location.
