Abstract: The present inventors have determined that implementation of an authentication process which can be selectively applied to safeguard parameters which modify dispensing of particulate material during agricultural operations can advantageously allow users of varying levels of experience and understanding to maintain ease of conducting field operations while reducing the possibility of waste and expense. A control system can determine a level of access for an operator or user on an individual basis. Upon determining a level of access for the operator to be sufficient for modifying a parameter, the control system can apply an input from the operator to modify the parameter, and can accordingly adjust dispensing of particulate material.

Abstract: A method, system and an apparatus minimize over-seeding and disruption of previously placed seed in an overlap area, when applying an agricultural product to a field with an agricultural product delivery arrangement having row units, by dispensing a predetermined first product amount equal to one hundred percent of a desired application to the field in a first pass through the entire field including the overlap area, and then dispensing a second product amount in a subsequent pass through the overlap area without raising row units out of the soil during the subsequent pass. The second product amount is determined as a function of a percentage the predetermined first product amount applied to the overlap area during the first pass that is disturbed by operative engagement of the row units with the soil during the subsequent pass over the overlap area.

Abstract: An agricultural delivery system allows for the selective delivery of agricultural product (e.g., seeds or fertilizer) along one or more paths to row units according to a real-time location determined for the delivery system. The delivery system may include: a rotating drum configured to separate individual product for depositing along paths to row units; a sectional control system which may include wheels or gates for selectively cutting off product in the paths; and a controller in communication with a positioning system and the sectional control system. In operation, as the delivery system moves through a field; the controller may continuously determine a location for the delivery system. The controller may then operate to adjust individual product delivery, via the sectional control system, according to the location.
