Systems and methods for monitoring disc conditions of agricultural implements based on monitored sub-surface density profiles

A system for monitoring disc conditions of an agricultural implement, the system comprising:

• a plurality of discs configured to penetrate through a soil surface during the performance of an agricultural operation;
• a sub-surface density sensor configured to generate data associated with a density of one or more sub-surface features included within a field of view of the sub-surface density sensor extending across a lateral section of a field, the field of view of the sub-surface density sensor encompassing an expected location of a sub-surface portion of each disc of the plurality of discs such that the data generated by the sub-surface density sensor includes density data associated with the density of the sub-surface portion of each disc of the plurality of discs located within the field of view;
• and
• a computing system communicatively coupled with the sub-surface density sensor, the computing system being configured to:
• determine a sub-surface density profile extending across the lateral section of the field based on the data received from the sub-surface density sensor;
• and
• determine an operating condition of at least one disc of the plurality of discs based at least in part on the sub-surface density profile, the operating condition being indicative of the at least one disc being damaged or missing.
