  • Patent number: 12379363
    Abstract: Systems and implements sense, analyze, and display different soil parameters. A soil sensing system includes a mechanical component of an agricultural implement and at least one sensor disposed on the mechanical component. The sensor generates an electromagnetic field through a region of soil as the agricultural implement traverses a field. The sensor comprises at least one radar transmitter and at least one radar receiver and the sensor measures different soil parameters including a soil dielectric constant.

  • Patent number: 12290065
    Abstract: A system for irrigating an agricultural field includes a high-clearance vehicle (e.g., a sprayer vehicle) and a hose configured to connect an external water source to the high-clearance vehicle while the high-clearance vehicle traverses the agricultural field. A method for irrigating an agricultural field includes connecting an external water source to a high-clearance vehicle by a hose, and dispensing water from the nozzles of the high-clearance vehicle while the external water source remains connected thereto and while the high-clearance vehicle traverses the agricultural field.

  • Publication number: 20250048963
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and harvesters for adjusting settings of a harvester. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method includes capturing, with at least one image capture device that is located on the harvester, images of a field view of an unharvested region to be harvested, analyzing the captured images to determine crop information for a crop of a harvested region that is adjacent to the unharvested region, and adjusting settings or operating parameters of the harvester for the unharvested region based on the crop information for the crop of the harvested region.
