An agricultural product flow monitoring system for an agricultural system includes a flow sensor configured to be coupled to a seed boot of a row unit of the agricultural system. The flow sensor is configured to output a sensor signal indicative of agricultural product flow through the seed boot. The agricultural product flow monitoring system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the flow sensor, in which the controller includes a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive the sensor signal from the flow sensor, to identify absence of the agricultural product flow in response to determining the agricultural product flow through the seed boot is not present, and to output a control signal in response to identifying the absence of the agricultural product flow.

An agricultural product delivery system includes a flow control system defining a first channel and a second channel. A first flow regulation device is positioned within the first channel. A second flow regulation device is positioned within the second channel. An air source is positioned upstream of the flow control system and is fluidly coupled with the flow control system. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the flow control system. The computing system is configured to receive an input to alter the first airstream within the first channel to a third airstream and alter at least one of the flow control system or the air source to maintain the second airstream through the second channel while the third airstream is provided to the first channel.

A bale identification system of an agricultural harvester includes a controller that receives a bale wrap assembly code from a bale wrap assembly scanner. The bale wrap assembly code includes a bale wrap assembly identification code and a bale wrap segment end index. The controller also determines a respective bale wrap segment index for each bale wrap segment of the bale wrap assembly based on the bale wrap segment end index and an order of bale wrap segment usage. Furthermore, the controller establishes a database having multiple entries. Each entry corresponds to a respective bale wrap segment, and each entry includes the bale wrap assembly identification code, the respective bale wrap segment index, and bale wrap segment information.

A bale wrap includes a bale wrap substrate and multiple bale identifiers disposed on or within the bale wrap substrate. The bale identifiers are arranged in multiple patterns, each pattern is formed by a set of two or more bale identifiers, each pattern extends along a length of the bale wrap equal to a minimum bale circumference, and the patterns do not overlap one another along the length of the bale wrap. Furthermore, each pattern is different than an adjacent pattern, such that each bale identifier of the set of bale identifiers of the pattern does not overlap any bale identifier of the set of bale identifiers of the adjacent pattern while a section of the bale wrap having the pattern and the adjacent pattern is wrapped around a bale having the minimum bale circumference.

A system for monitoring field conditions includes a sensor arm pivotably coupled proximate its first end to an agricultural implement and proximate its second end to a sensor configured to generate data indicative of a field condition. Moreover, the system includes an actuator configured to actuate the sensor arm relative to the agricultural implement such that a field of view of the sensor is directed towards a first lateral region of the aft portion of the field when the sensor arm is in a first position and a second lateral region of the aft portion of the field when the sensor arm is in a second position. Additionally, the system includes a computing system configured to control an operation of the actuator to actuate the sensor arm, receive the data generated by the sensor, and determine the field condition of at least the first and second lateral regions.

A downforce monitoring system for an agricultural row unit includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to receive one or more signals from one or more sensors. Each of the one or more signals is indicative of a downforce applied to a soil surface by a gauge wheel of the agricultural row unit. The controller is also configured to determine a determined downforce applied to the soil surface by the gauge wheel based on the one or more signals. The one or more sensors are engaged with a pin, and the pin is configured to rotatably couple a depth adjustment arm to a shaft of the row unit.

A storage compartment profile monitoring and control system for an agricultural system may include at least one sensor configured to output sensor signals indicative of a corresponding series of images of particulate material within a storage compartment and at least one graduated marking on the storage compartment during a period of operation of a metering system and a controller comprising a memory and a processor. The controller is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and configured to receive the sensor signals from the at least one sensor to determine a series of profiles of the particulate material within the storage compartment based on the series of images. The controller also determines a volumetric rate of change of the particulate material based on the series of profiles and control controls the metering system based on the change.

A row unit lift control system for an agricultural seeding implement includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to determine a forward speed differential between a left forward speed of one or more left row units positioned at a left portion of a frame of the agricultural seeding implement and a right forward speed of one or more right row units positioned at a right portion of the frame of the agricultural seeding implement. The controller is also configured to control at least one actuator of the agricultural seeding implement to lift a slower of the one or more left row units or the one or more right row units in response to determining the forward speed differential is greater than a threshold forward speed differential.

A debris removal system for an agricultural harvester can include an extractor housing defining a housing inlet, a housing outlet, and a passage. The extractor housing can further define an airflow channel for directing debris through the extractor housing from the housing inlet to the housing outlet. An airflow device can be configured to generate an airflow from the housing inlet towards the airflow device. The airflow can be configured to separate the debris billets of a crop material. A drum can be positioned at least partially within the airflow channel and between the housing inlet and the passage. The debris within the airflow channel can be directed by the drum toward the housing outlet.

A control system for an agricultural baler includes a controller configured to receive a bale wrap signal indicative of a type of a bale wrap. The controller is also configured to determine whether the bale wrap is segmented or continuous based on the type. Furthermore, the controller is configured to control a braking system to establish a tension force at a weakened section of the bale wrap sufficient to separate a first portion disposed about a bale from a second portion disposed about a shaft in response to determining the bale wrap is segmented and the weakened section is positioned between the shaft and the bale. In addition, the controller is configured to control a cutting system of the agricultural baler to cut the bale wrap in response to determining the bale wrap is continuous and a target section of the bale wrap is positioned at the cutting system.
