System and method for operating an agricultural system

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to:

• retrieve a path associated with an agricultural field;
• receive feedback indicative of a position of an agricultural system within the path;
• select a selected swath from a plurality of swaths of the path based on the position, wherein each swath of the plurality of swaths comprises a respective trigger point;
• determine that the position of the agricultural system is within a threshold range of the respective trigger point of the selected swath;
• and
• output a signal to instruct a component of the agricultural system to perform an operation associated with the respective trigger point of the selected swath in response to determining that the position of the agricultural system is within the threshold range of the respective trigger point of the selected swath.

An agricultural system comprising:

• a steering system configured to control movement of the agricultural system based on manual input;
• a memory configured to store a path, wherein the path comprises a plurality of swaths;
• and
• processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• receive feedback indicative of a position of the agricultural system as controlled via the steering system;
• select a selected swath from the plurality of swaths based on the position being within a threshold distance of the selected swath;
• and
• output a signal to instruct a component of the agricultural system to perform an operation associated with the selected swath.
