    Abstract: A planter downforce system includes a plurality of hydraulic accumulators, each of the plurality of hydraulic accumulators operatively connected to a pressure line associated with a row unit of a planter, a pressure sensor operatively connected to the pressure line, an orifice operatively connected to the pressure line to limit flow of fluid within the pressure line to a hydraulic zero-pressure tank, and a controller operatively connected to the pressure sensor and configured to determine accumulator charge pressure of the accumulators.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring rocks in a field. The system includes at least one row unit having an opening disk, a gauge wheel, and a gauge wheel load sensor. The system further includes a processor and a storage media. In various implementations, the system evaluates gauge wheel load sensor data, vertical acceleration data, and/or down force bore pressure data to detect when a row unit strikes a rock. In some implementations, the system can detect the size of the rock, the location of the rock within the soil, and the severity of a rock strike.

    Abstract: A system for flow control and measurement comprising a fluid tank, a pump in communication with the fluid tank, a manifold in communication with the pump configured to distribute fluid flow to two or more individual lines, and at least one flow device in line with each of the two or more individual lines. The at least one flow device comprising a housing, a hose disposed within the housing, a compression plate configured to compress the hose against the housing, the compression sufficient to close a lumen of the hose when fluid is not flowing through the hose, and at least one sensor configured to determine the position of the compression plate relative to the housing, where the position of the compression plate indicates pressure inside the hose.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various adjustable seed meter embodiments having a first seed disk having first openings defined therein and a second seed disk having second openings defined therein adjacent to the first openings such that the first and second openings are alignable to form adjustable seed cells. Various embodiments have a plate adjustment drive system to rotate the first and second seed disks in relation to each other. Other embodiments relate to methods of automatically adjusting a seed meter during operation of the overall planting system.
