An example of feedforward control is when a farmer decides to harvest his corn crops ahead of schedule to prevent a total loss of product when the Hurricane arrives (which is forecast to pass directly over the farm in a couple of days).

The farmer is taking a proactive measure to prevent the loss of his crops by harvesting them earlier than planned, based on the forecast of the Hurricane's arrival. This is an example of feedforward control, which involves taking anticipatory actions to prevent or minimize the impact of potential problems.
