Zusammenfassung:A combine harvester (10) is provided comprising a header (18) for cutting plants to be harvested by the combine harvester (10), a feeder housing (201, 202), and a revolving conveyor (210) that is housed within the feeder housing. The revolving conveyor (210) comprises conveying elements (211, 213) for conveying the cut plants through a conveying channel (215) between the revolving conveyor (210) and a bottom (202) of the feeder housing. At least a first feed rate sensor (220) is positioned above the conveying channel (215) and configured to send signals to and receive signals from the conveying channel (215). A controller is operatively coupled to the first feed rate sensor (220) and configured to repeatedly determine a distance between the first feed rate sensor (220) and the revolving conveyor (210) based on the signals received by the first feed rate sensor (220).
