Benefits of technology

The patent describes an agricultural system that uses sensors to gather information about the soil properties during operation. This information is then used to control the operation of the agricultural implement, such as adjusting the application rate of the agricultural product. The technical effect is that the system can make real-time adjustments based on the soil properties, resulting in improved efficiency and productivity.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, operators may reduce waste and save time by limiting planting and / or conditioning to desirable areas of an agricultural field.
However, typical soil analysis may be time consuming, expensive, and data intensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]One or more specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, all features of an actual implementation may not be described in the specification. It should be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.

[0014]When introducing elements of various embodiments of the present disclosure, the articles “a,”“an,”“the,” and “said” are intended to mean that th...

Abstract

An agricultural system includes a sensor positioned forward of an agricultural implement relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural system. The sensor is configured to output a first signal indicative of at least one soil property associated with an operation of the agricultural implement. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to output a second signal indicative of instructions to control the operation of the agricultural implement based on the first signal.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 984,471, entitled “System for Mounting an Agricultural Soil Analyzer to Agricultural Implement”, filed Apr. 25, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The invention relates generally to agricultural systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for sensor-based crop management.[0003]Certain agricultural operators may conduct soil analysis before beginning planting operations in agricultural fields. Soil analysis may facilitate in planning of planting operations, thereby increasing yield and / or planting efficiency. For example, an analysis identifying specific areas having a rough or uneven soil surface may influence soil conditioning operations in the specific areas. Moreover, soil analysis may identify areas of the agricultural field having preferable conditions for planting. As a result, ope...
