Abstract: Speed control of machines and associated implements during transitions of agricultural parameters is described herein. In one embodiment, a processing system comprises processing logic to execute instructions for processing agricultural data and performing speed control of a machine and associated implement during a transition period for adjusting a setting of an agricultural parameter. A communication unit is coupled to the processing logic. The communication unit to transmit and receive data from the implement. The processing logic is configured to execute instructions to adjust the setting of the agricultural parameter and to determine a desired speed control during the transition period based on at least one of a desired transition distance and productivity during the transition period.

Abstract: A reversible seed trench appurtenance for a row unit of an agricultural planter. The seed trench appurtenance includes an upper portion and a trailing portion. The upper portion is received within a mounting bracket attached to the row unit of the planter. The seed trench appurtenance is movable between a normal operating position in which the trailing portion extends into the seed trench. When the row unit is reversed in a direction opposite the forward direction of travel, the seed trench appurtenance moves from the normal operating position to a reversing position in which the trailing portion is vertically above the normal operating position thereby avoiding damage to the seed trench appurtenance and the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A method of planting with a row unit (100, 200) includes forming a seed trench (128) in soil with the row unit (200), dispensing a seed from an outlet of a seed-delivery mechanism (202) carried by the row unit (100, 200), penetrating a wall of the seed trench (128) with a covering device (206, 302) to cover the seed with soil, and closing the seed trench (128) with a seed-trench closing assembly (118). A row unit (100, 200) for planting seeds includes a frame (102) configured to be coupled to a toolbar (104), a seed-trench opening assembly (116) carried by the frame (102) and configured to form a seed trench (128), a seed-delivery mechanism (112, 202) carried by the frame (102) and configured to deliver seeds to the seed trench (128), a covering device (206, 302) carried by the frame (102) and configured to penetrate a wall of the seed trench (128) and cover the seeds with soil, and a seed-trench closing assembly (118) carried by the frame and configured to close the seed trench.

Abstract: A system may analyze agricultural materials. The system may include one or more inlets receiving the agricultural materials. The agricultural materials may be a slurry (e.g., soil slurry) including at least one solid and at least one liquid. The system may include a chamber configured to house the agricultural materials. The chamber may include a mixing device configured to mix the agricultural materials. The system may include a flow control device configured to stop the flow of the agricultural materials in a first state, or move the flow of the agricultural materials in a second state. The system may include an agricultural materials density device configured to determine the density of the agricultural materials when the flow of the agricultural materials is stopped in the first state and when the flow of the agricultural materials is moving in the second state.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an electrical control system (400, 450) comprises at least one sensor (800, 900) that is configured to illuminate multiple light sources (924, 926) with each light source having a different wavelength and to sense one or more products (832) flowing in a product line (822, 922) of an agricultural implement (10, 1240). Processing logic (416, 1226) is coupled to the at least one sensor and the processing logic is configured to obtain sensor data from the at least one sensor, to determine response signals for each product when illuminated based on the sensor data, and to analyze the response signals for each product to determine product characteristics including color of each product to distinguish each product.

Abstract: A system for sensing characteristics of a trench in a soil surface during planting operations. A trench opening assembly opens a trench in the soil surface as the trench opening assembly moves in a forward direction of travel. A trench closing assembly disposed rearward of the trench opening assembly closes the opened trench with soil. One or more sensors may be disposed on an appurtenance disposed in said trench configured to provide characteristics of an area of the open trench or an area of the trench closed with soil by the trench closing assembly or a sensor may be disposed outside of said trench configured to provide characteristics of an area of the trench closed with soil or a combination of the sensors may be disposed in the trench and outside of the trench.
