Abstract An agricultural vehicle, tractor, or combine including an area counter for calculating the area upon which the vehicle has operated is disclosed herein. For example, the area counter may be utilized with a combine to determine the total acreage of crops which have been harvested by the combine. The area counter calculates a total area signal in accordance with a position signal indicative of the position of the header attached to the combine, a ground speed sensor, and a feeder speed signal. The position of the header (e.g., implement, harvester, or other farm equipment) is provided by a position sensor which provides indicia of the height of the header from a minimum level to a maximum level. The area counter compares the position signal to a threshold to determine whether the header is engaged or operating upon the crop. The area counter is programmed in a microprocessor and generates area data representative of the amount of area upon which the vehicle has operated during 0.5 second intervals. The area signals are accumulated as a total area signal.
