Abstract: Agricultural apparatuses and systems for collecting, cutting, and/or processing produce. The produce processing system includes a feed conveyor, a first belt, a first spray assembly, a processing station, the processing station including a housing mounted to the feed conveyor, a mandrel assembly coupled to the feed conveyor, the mandrel assembly including a first rotating blade, an engagement sensor coupled to the housing and the feed conveyor, a stop switch coupled to the feed conveyor, where the stop switch is repositionable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, and an operator controller communicatively coupled to the flow sensor, the engagement sensor, and the stop switch, wherein the operator controller stops a rotation of the first belt based on at least one of a detection of a signal from the engagement sensor, a detected flow rate from the flow sensor, and an engagement of the stop switch.
