Metering system for an agricultural system

A metering system, comprising:

• a plurality of meter rollers, wherein each meter roller of the plurality of meter rollers comprises a plurality of protrusions, wherein each protrusion of the corresponding plurality of protrusions is configured to drive flowable particulate material downwardly in response to rotation of the meter roller;
• a drive shaft configured to be driven in rotation;
• a plurality of transmission assemblies each corresponding to a respective meter roller of the plurality of meter rollers, wherein each transmission assembly of the plurality of transmission assemblies establishes a direct mechanical linkage between the drive shaft and the respective meter roller, and each transmission assembly of the plurality of transmission assemblies is configured to shift between a plurality of gear ratios to drive the respective meter roller in rotation at a plurality of different speeds relative to the drive shaft, wherein each transmission assembly of the plurality of transmission assemblies comprise a respective moveable gear of the plurality of moveable gears, wherein the respective movable gear is configured to alternately engage and disengage in response to a gear ratio control signal wherein the respective moveable gear is configured to establish a fixed connection between one of a plurality of gears to establish a gear ratio;
• and
• a controls system communicatively coupled to a plurality of actuators, wherein each actuator of the plurality of actuators corresponds to each transmission assembly of the plurality of control signal to the plurality of actuators, wherein the gear ratio control signal is configured to control a rotation rate of the respective meter roller by engaging one of the plurality of gears corresponding to each transmission assembly of the plurality of transmission assemblies to establish the respective gear ratio.
