System and method for metering agricultural products

A metering system for an air cart, comprising:

• a metering subassembly, comprising:
• a first meter module configured to meter particulate material from a storage tank of the air cart to a first section of an agricultural implement;
• a second meter module configured to meter the particulate material from the storage tank of the air cart to a second section of the agricultural implement;
• a controller having a processor configured to:
• receive a prescription rate map indicative of a first prescribed product application rate for the particulate material across a first geographic region of a field and a second prescribed product application rate for the particulate material across a second geographic region of the field;
• receive signals indicative of respective geographic locations of the first section and the second section relative to the field;
• and
• independently adjust the first meter module and the second meter module based at least in part on the prescription rate map and the respective geographic locations as the agricultural implement travels through the field, wherein the processor is configured to determine a blended product application rate from the first prescribed product application rate and the second prescribed product application rate while the first section is located within both the first region and the second region of the field, and to adjust the first meter module to facilitate application of the particulate material at the blended product application rate while the first section is located in both the first region and the second region of the field.

A method for metering particulate material from an air cart to an agricultural implement, comprising:

• receiving, at a processor of a metering system, a prescription rate map indicative of prescribed product application rates for the particulate material for respective geographic regions of a field;
• receiving, at the processor, signals indicative of respective geographic locations of a first section and a second section of the agricultural implement relative to the field, wherein the first section and the second section each comprise one or more row units configured to deposit the particulate material into the field;
• receiving, at the processor, a signal indicative of a speed of the agricultural implement;
• adjusting, using the processor, a first metering rate of a first meter module configured to meter the particulate material from a storage tank of the air cart to the first section and a second metering rate of a second meter module configured to meter the particulate material from the storage tank of the air cart to the second section based at least in part on the prescription rate map, the signals indicative of the respective geographic locations of the first section and the second section, and the signal indicative of the speed of the agricultural implement, wherein the first metering rate and the second metering rate enable the one or more row units of the first section and the one or more row units of the second section to deposit the particulate material into the field at the prescribed product application rates in respective geographic regions of the field;
• and
• generating, using the processor, a blended product application rate based on a first prescribed product application rate for a first geographic region of the field and a second prescribed product application rate for a second geographic region of the field in response to the first section being located within both the first geographic region and the second geographic region of the field.
