A steering control system (100) and method for a wheeled agricultural material applicator machine (10;110) is provided. Suitable for both trailed applicators and self-propelled applicators, the system comprises a pair of leading wheels (25;125) which tread a first track, and a pair of trailing wheels (26;126) which tread a second track. Steering means (38,41) are configured to steer the trailing wheels so as to follow the first track. Control means (40) are configured to log a history of the first track and then calculate a steering signal for controlling the steering means. The calculation takes account of the logged history and of the spatial separation (d) between the pairs of leading and trailing wheels so that the latter are not steered away from the first track prematurely at the commencement of a headland turn for example.
