Systems and methods for reducing seed theft in planting operations

Abstract

A method for detecting theft of agricultural material during an agricultural operation includes receiving the agricultural material at first equipment configured to distribute the agricultural material, receiving, by a theft detection system, a current location of the first equipment, comparing, at the theft detection system, the current location of the first equipment with at least one target location associated with the agricultural operation, determining, by the theft detection system, whether the first equipment is performing the agricultural operation to distribute the agricultural material, and generating and transmitting, by the theft detection system, a notification indicating that the agricultural material was stolen in response to a determination that the current location is outside of the at least one target location and that the first equipment is performing the agricultural operation to distribute the agricultural material.
