Agricultural system and method for monitoring plugging of ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement

An agricultural method for monitoring plugging of ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement, the agricultural method comprising:

• receiving, with a computing system, moisture data indicative of a moisture content within a field as a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement works the field as the agricultural implement is moved across the field;
• adjusting, with the computing system, an output frequency at which a signal transmission device is configured to transmit wireless signals from a current output frequency to an adjusted output frequency based at least in part on the moisture data;
• determining, with the computing system, when the ground-engaging tool is experiencing a plugged condition based at least in part on an attenuation parameter of the wireless signals transmitted by the signal transmission device at the adjusted output frequency and received by a target provided in operative association with the ground-engaging tool, the target being spaced apart from the signal transmission device;
• and
• controlling, with the computing system, an operation of a device associated with the agricultural implement when the ground-engaging tool is experiencing the plugged condition.
