  • Publication number: 20250089599
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring, by sensors, a drive path of a farming machine in an agricultural field, where the drive path includes multiple tracks each including a planting row, and detecting, based on data from the sensors, an end of drive path planting pattern, which includes multiple plants in at least a first one of the multiple tracks as a track extension, but no plants in at least a second one of the tracks. The method also includes, based on the detected end of drive path planting pattern, determining, by a computing device, location data of an edge of a previous drive path and generating alignment guidance data for the farming machine based on a current location of the farming machine and the location data of the edge of the previous drive path. The method further includes outputting, at the farming machine, the alignment guidance data.

  • Patent number: 12207585
    Abstract: A method begins by agriculture equipment collecting current on-site gathered agriculture data regarding an agriculture region and sending at least a representation of the current on-site gathered agriculture data to a host device. The method continues with the host device processing one or more of the at least a representation of the current on-site gathered agriculture data, current off-site gathered agriculture data, historical on-site gathered agriculture data, historical off-site gathered agriculture data, and historical analysis of agriculture predictions regarding the agriculture region to produce a current agriculture prediction for the agriculture region. The method continues with the host device generating an agriculture prescription regarding at least a portion of the agriculture region based on the current agriculture prediction and sending the agriculture prescription to one or more of the agriculture equipment.
