Abstract: A tillage implement includes a computing system configured to determine the total load being applied to a disk gang of the implement based on data generated by the one or more load sensors. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a normalized number of disks on the disk gang based on the surface area of each disk on the disk gang that is in contact with soil in a field across which the tillage implement is traveling. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine an average load per disk being applied to the disk gang based on the determined total load and the determined normalized number of disks. In addition, the computing system is configured to determine an operational status of the tillage implement based on the determined average load per disk.

Abstract: A method includes generating a field geospatial map layer; receiving soil data; assigning the soil data and type to a variable grid; generating interpolated soil data; and storing the interpolated soil data values in spatial data files. A computing system includes a processor; and a memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to: generate a field geospatial map layer; receive soil data; assign the soil data and type to a variable grid; generate interpolated soil data; and store the soil data in spatial data files. A non-transitory computer readable medium includes program instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to: generate a field geospatial map layer; receive soil data; assign the soil data and type to a variable grid; generate interpolated soil data; and store the soil data in spatial data files.

Abstract: A policy map is obtained that includes of prescribed machine settings values for controlling a machine to perform an operation at different locations in the field. Sensor signals indicating conditions that will be encountered by the machine in the future, as it moves through the site. A predictive model provides an expected machine response, based upon the a future condition and a prescribed machine setting value. Adjusted machine setting value is generated based on the expected machine response. Control signals are generated, based on the adjusted machine setting value, to control a set of controllable subsystems.

Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural system. The one or more information maps map one or more characteristic values at different geographic locations in a worksite. An in-situ sensor detects a crop lodging value as a mobile windrowing machine operates at the worksite. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that maps predictive crop lodging values at different geographic locations in the worksite based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the crop lodging value detected by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

Abstract: A detection system detects malfunctions in an autonomous farming vehicle during an autonomous routine using one or more models and data from sensors coupled to the autonomous farming vehicle. The models may include machine-learned models trained on the sensor data and configured to identify objects indicative of an operational or malfunctioning component within a tilling assembly such as a tilling shank or sweep. Additionally, a machine-learned model may be trained on sensor data to detect whether debris has plugged the tilling assembly of the autonomous farming vehicle. In response to detecting a malfunction or a plug, the detection system may modify the autonomous routine (e.g., pausing operation) or provide information for the malfunction to be addressed (e.g., the likely location of a malfunctioning sweep that has detached from the tilling assembly).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to identify headlands are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus to identify a headland of a field includes an image analyzer to generate an image from data corresponding to path information of at least one field operation performed on the field, a mask generator to generate a mask of the image based on the image, and a headland identifier to identify the headland in the field based on the mask.

Abstract: A downforce control system for a finishing frame of a tillage implement includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to receive a sensor signal indicative of vibration of the finishing frame. The finishing frame is configured to be movably coupled to a main frame of the tillage implement and to be urged toward a surface of soil via application of a frame downforce from a frame downforce actuator. The controller is also configured to compare a magnitude of the vibration to a maximum threshold magnitude. Furthermore, the controller is configured to output an information signal to a user interface indicative of the frame downforce applied to the finishing frame being insufficient and/or control the frame downforce actuator to increase the frame downforce applied to the finishing frame in response to determining the magnitude of the vibration is greater than the maximum threshold magnitude.

Abstract: An acceptance processing unit accepts, from a user, an operation to set each of a plurality of action items related to actions to be executed by a work vehicle when the work vehicle reaches a predetermined position corresponding to an end point of a work route on which the work vehicle is caused to autonomously travel. A setting processing unit sets each of the plurality of action items on the basis of the operation of the user.

Abstract: This invention relates to a precision agriculture produce harvesting system and produce harvesting apparatus configured for integration with the system, an essential feature of which is a harvesting device subsystem (100) that includes a harvesting device, for instance pruning shears (102) and a harvesting separation stroke detector (108) housed within a control module housing (110) mounted to the shears (102). A person operating the pruning shears (102) produces discernible separation strokes when the handles (104) of the shears (102) are squeezed together to produce a shearing action. The stroke detector (108) detects the separation strokes of the shears (102). By the addition of the control module (108) to the pruning shears (102), the shears are essentially converted into a data logging device by means of which important aspects of a produce harvesting process can be digitised and supplied to a harvest data digital data processing system.
