Abstract: A system for securing a tail of a bale wrap includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to control a bale rotation system to drive a wrapped agricultural bale to rotate within a bale carrier of a baler, to control a monitoring system to monitor for an identifier located on the tail of the bale wrap disposed on the wrapped agricultural bale to locate the tail, and to control a labeling system to attach a plurality of labels along the tail of the bale wrap to secure the tail of the bale wrap upon locating the tail of the bale wrap.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A bale wrap for an agricultural bale includes a first section formed from one or more natural materials. The bale wrap also includes a second section positioned downstream from the first section. The second section includes a water-resistant membrane configured to block water penetration into the agricultural bale while the bale wrap is wrapped around the agricultural bale, and the second section includes an adhesive configured to engage the first section while the bale wrap is wrapped around the agricultural bale. Furthermore, the bale wrap includes a third section positioned downstream from the second section. The third section is formed from one or more natural materials, and the third section includes an adhesive configured to engage the second section while the bale wrap is wrapped around the agricultural bale.

Abstract: A cleaning system for a cotton picker includes a cleaning air source having an outlet configured to be disposed within an inlet region of an accumulator of the cotton picker. The outlet of the cleaning air source is configured to be directed toward a grate of the accumulator, the inlet region of the accumulator is configured to receive agricultural material from a header of the cotton picker via a conveying air flow provided by a conveying air source, and the grate is configured to block passage of the agricultural material and to enable passage of debris.

Abstract: An air-assisted conveying system of an agricultural harvester includes a controller configured to receive a first sensor signal indicative of a first air pressure at a first location within a line and to receive a second sensor signal indicative of a second air pressure at a second location within the line. Furthermore, the controller is configured to determine an air pressure differential based on the first air pressure and the second air pressure. In response to determining the air pressure differential is greater than a threshold value, the controller is configured to control a supplemental air source to provide supplemental air to the line for a supplemental air duration. In addition, in response to determining the air pressure differential is greater than the threshold value during the supplemental air duration, the controller is configured to control an operational air source to increase an operational air flow through the line.

Abstract: A bale wrap assembly for an agricultural baler includes a segmented shaft having multiple segments configured to couple to one another along a rotational axis of the segmented shaft. The bale wrap assembly also includes a bale wrap configured to be disposed about the segmented shaft. Furthermore, the bale wrap assembly includes at least one engagement feature positioned at an end of the bale wrap and configured to engage the segmented shaft. The at least one engagement feature is configured to couple the segments to one another while engaged with the segmented shaft, and the at least one engagement feature is configured to disengage the segmented shaft as the end of the bale wrap moves away from the segmented shaft to enable the segments to uncouple from one another.

Abstract: A container for growing plants includes a bottom wall, a first side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall, and a second side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall and parallel to the first side wall such that the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall at least partially define a plant growing chamber. Furthermore, the container includes a lid configured to selectively occlude access to the plant growing chamber. Additionally, the container includes a carrier assembly positioned with the plant growing chamber and movably coupled to the first side wall and the second side wall. Moreover, the container includes a tool coupled to the carrier assembly such that movement of the carrier assembly relative to the first side wall and the second side wall moves the tool within the plant growing chamber.
