An agricultural system, comprising:
- a towed agricultural implement having a frame and a set of ground engaging tools, mounted to the frame, the set of ground engaging tools engaging the ground at a tool-to-soil interface;
- an illumination device, mounted to the frame, oriented to direct illumination to the tool-to-soil interface;
- and
- a communication link coupled to the towed agricultural implement and configured to receive illumination device control signals from a towing vehicle to control a state of the illumination device based on an operator input.
