Automatic steering system for an agricultural implement

A method of steering an agricultural implement, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a positioning signal from a positioning source as the agricultural implement is motivated by a work vehicle;
• determining a current position of an implement receiver located on the agricultural implement from the positioning signal;
• determining and storing a previous coverage area from dimensions of the agricultural implement and a previous path of the agricultural implement as determined by the implement receiver located on the agricultural implement;
• determining a potential non-covered area in response to the previous coverage area and a current implement travel path;
• and
• based on the potential non-covered area, controlling actuation of a steering cylinder connected to at least a first ground-engaging wheel based on the current position of the implement receiver to steer the first ground-engaging wheel and adjust the current implement travel path so as to substantially minimize a creation of a non-covered area.
