Soil parameter sensing and control system for an agricultural seeder

A control system for controlling an agricultural system, comprising:

• a first sensor configured to be mounted on the agricultural system, wherein the first sensor is configured to output a first sensor signal indicative of one or more first soil parameters at a first row unit;
• a second sensor configured to be mounted on the agricultural system, wherein the second sensor is configured to output a second sensor signal indicative of one or more second soil parameters at a second row unit;
• a first seed meter configured to meter a first seed from a first seed storage tank into a first primary line at a first seed flowrate, wherein the first primary line is configured to convey the first seed toward the first row unit via an airflow through the first primary line;
• a second seed meter configured to meter the first seed from the first seed storage tank into a second primary line at a second seed flowrate, wherein the second primary line is configured to convey the first seed toward the second row unit via an airflow through the second primary line;
• a third seed meter configured to meter a second seed, different from the first seed, from a second seed storage tank into the first primary line at a third seed flowrate, wherein the first primary line is configured to convey the second seed toward the first row unit via the airflow through the first primary line;
• a fourth seed meter configured to meter the second seed from the second seed storage tank into the second primary line at a fourth seed flowrate, wherein the second primary line is configured to convey the second seed toward the second row unit via the airflow through the second primary line;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the first sensor, to the second sensor, to the first seed meter, to the second seed meter, to the third seed meter, and to the fourth seed meter, wherein the controller comprises a processor and a memory, and the controller is configured to:
• receive the first sensor signal from the first sensor;
• determine the one or more first soil parameters at the first row unit based on the first sensor signal;
• control the first and third seed meters to engage metering of one of the first seed or the second seed and disengage metering of the other of the first seed or the second seed based on the one or more first soil parameters;
• receive the second sensor signal from the second sensor;
• determine the one or more second soil parameters at the second row unit based on the second sensor signal;
• and
• control the second and fourth seed meters to engage metering of one of the first seed or the second seed and disengage metering of the other of the first seed or the second seed based on the one or more second soil parameters.

An agricultural system, comprising:

• one or more sensors configured to be mounted on the agricultural system, wherein each sensor of the one or more sensors is configured to output a sensor signal indicative of one or more soil parameters;
• a first seed meter configured to meter a first seed from a first seed storage tank into a primary line at a first seed flowrate, wherein the primary line is configured to convey the first seed toward a row unit via an airflow through the primary line;
• a second seed meter configured to meter a second seed, different from the first seed, from a second seed storage tank into the primary line at a second seed flowrate, wherein the primary line is configured to convey the second seed toward the row unit via the airflow through the primary line;
• a row unit, comprising:
• a ground engaging tool configured to apply a downward force on a field;
• and
• a packer wheel configured to apply a packing force on the field, wherein an adjustment assembly is configured to control the packing force applied on the field;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors, to the first seed meter, to the second seed meter, and to the adjustment assembly, wherein the controller comprises a processor and a memory, and the controller is configured to:
• receive the sensor signal from each sensor of the one or more sensors;
• determine the one or more soil parameters based on each sensor signal;
• control the first and second seed meters to engage metering of one of the first seed or the second seed and disengage metering of the other of the first seed or the second seed based on the one or more soil parameters.
