1. A computing system architecture, comprising:
a remote computing system, spatially separated from a field at which a mobile agricultural machine is currently being operated, by an operator in a cab of the agricultural machine, the remote computing system comprising:
a communication system configured to communicate with the mobile agricultural machine to obtain a set of machine settings data indicative of machine settings of controllable subsystems on the mobile agricultural machine that are being used while the mobile agricultural machine is operating at the field;
display generator logic configured to control a display device, spatially separated from the field, to display a settings control display indicative of the machine settings data from the mobile agricultural machine, with a user actuatable adjustment actuator;
an adjustment actuator interaction detector configured to detect user actuation, by a user different than the operator, of the adjustment actuator indicating a user adjustment to the machine settings and to generate an adjustment signal indicative of the user adjustment; and
an adjustment request generator configured to generate an adjustment request indicating the user adjustment to the machine settings, and to control the communication system to send the adjustment request to the mobile agricultural machine to automatically adjust the machine settings while the mobile agricultural machine is being operated at the field by the operator in the cab of the agricultural machine.
