Primer system for agriculture product distribution machines

An agricultural product distribution machine comprising:

• a. storage means for storing a quantity of agricultural product to be distributed;
• b. conveying means for conveying agricultural product from the storage means to the ground surface;
• and
• c. control means for controlling the rate of transfer of the agricultural product from the storage means through the conveying means for distribution to the ground, the control means including:
• i. a regular operation system for automatically controlling the transfer of agricultural product at a rate dependent on process specific parameters;
• and
• ii. a bypass system for controlling the transfer of agricultural product independent of a speed of movement of the machine relative to the ground wherein the bypass system includes a bypass sensor for detecting values of bypass parameters wherein the bypass parameters indicate when the activation of the bypass system is desirable.

An air seeder comprising:

• a. storage means for storing a quantity of seed to be distributed;
• b. conveying means for conveying seed from the storage means to the ground surface;
• and
• c. control means for controlling the rate of transfer of the seed from the storage means through the conveying means for distribution to the ground, the control means including:
• i. a regular operation system for automatically controlling the transfer of seed at a rate dependent on process specific parameters;
• and
• ii. a bypass system for controlling the transfer of seed independent of a speed of movement of the air seeder relative to the ground, wherein the bypass system includes a bypass sensor for detecting values of bypass parameters wherein the bypass parameters indicate when the activation of the bypass system is desirable.

A precision planter comprising:

• a. storage means for storing a quantity of seed to be distributed;
• b. conveying means for conveying seed from the storage means to the ground surface;
• and
• c. control means for controlling the rate of transfer of the seed from the storage means through the conveying means for distribution to the ground, the control means including:
• i. a regular operation system for automatically controlling the transfer of seed at a rate dependent on process specific parameters;
• and
• ii. a bypass system for controlling the transfer of seed independent of a speed of movement of the precision planter relative to the ground, wherein the bypass system includes a bypass sensor for detecting values of bypass parameters wherein the bypass parameters indicate when the activation of the bypass system is desirable.
