Abstract: Embodiments relate to a farming machine that includes a beam, an actuator system, a sensor system, and a control system. The beam extends away from a body of the farming machine. The actuator system controls a position of the actuatable beam relative to the body. The sensor system generates measurement data that indicates the position of a ground point in front of a component of the farming machine relative to the sensor system. The control system determines a target beam height for the ground point. Based on the measurement data and the target beam height, the control system actuates the actuator system to adjust the position of the beam. As a result of the position adjustment, the height of the beam relative to the ground is equal to the target beam height prior to the component passing over the ground point.
