System and method for visual indication of agricultural implement status and field illumination

An agricultural system, comprising:

• a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors is configure to output a respective signal indicative of a respective operating parameter of a respective section of one or more sections of the agricultural system;
• a lighting system comprising a plurality of lights, wherein each light of the plurality of lights is configured to illuminate ground beneath a respective section of the one or more sections of the agricultural system;
• and
• a controller having a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and to the lighting system, and the controller is configured to:
• receive, for each section of the one or more sections, each respective signal indicative of the respective operating parameter of the section;
• compare, for each section of the one or more sections, each respective operating parameter to a respective threshold reference operating parameter;
• and
• control, for each section of the one or more sections, the lighting system to illuminate the ground beneath the section based on the comparison of each operating parameter to the respective threshold reference operating parameter.

A method for monitoring operation of an agricultural system, comprising:

• receiving, via a controller comprising a processor and a memory, at least one signal indicative of one or more operating parameters of each section of one or more sections of an agricultural system;
• comparing, via the controller, the one or more operating parameters to one or more respective threshold reference operating parameters;
• and
• controlling, via the controller, a lighting system to illuminate ground beneath the section of the one or more sections of the agricultural system based on the comparison of the one or more operating parameters to the one or more respective threshold reference operating parameters.
