    Abstract: Techniques are described that include creating and retrieving equipment information via a digital distributed ledger-based system. The techniques include authenticating a user of a digital distributed ledger-based system. The techniques further include receiving an operations data from the user, wherein the operations data comprises equipment data logged during operations of an equipment. The techniques additionally include storing the operations data and identification information for the equipment in at least one or more blocks of a digital distributed ledger, and distributing the one or more blocks among nodes of the digital distributed ledger, wherein the digital distributed ledger is configured to immutably store the operations data.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for controlling the position of an agricultural implement being towed by an agricultural vehicle may include first and second wheels and first and second non-contact-based braking devices. As such, the first braking device may be configured to apply a braking force to the first wheel, and the second braking device may be configured to apply a braking force to the second wheel. Furthermore, the system may include a controller configured to control an operation of the first braking device or the second braking device when it is determined that the position of the implement differs from a predetermined position for the implement such that the braking force is applied to the corresponding wheel in a manner that adjusts the position of the implement towards the predetermined position.

    Abstract: A plant stand management system includes a sensor unit configured to capture images of a plant stand, an applicator, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor unit and the applicator. The controller is configured to receive the captured images, process the captured images for determining one or more characteristics of the plant stand, generate one or more control signals based on the one or more characteristics, and send the one or more control signals to the applicator. The applicator is configured to perform at least one action on the plant stand based on the one or more control signals.

    Abstract: An agricultural system includes an agricultural soil analyzer positioned forward of a ground engaging tool relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural system. The agricultural soil analyzer is configured to output a first signal indicative of a parameter of soil forward of the soil conditioner relative to the direction of travel. The agricultural system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the agricultural soil analyzer. The controller is configured to receive the first signal from the agricultural soil analyzer. Furthermore, the controller is configured to determine a target parameter of the agricultural system based on the first signal and to output a second signal indicative of the target parameter.

    Abstract: An aerial monitoring system (12) for agricultural equipment includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (10). A controller (120) of the UAV (10) is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a position and a velocity of a reference point (148) on a target agricultural tool, and to determine a target point relative to the reference point (148) that provides a line-of-sight to a target object on the target agricultural tool. The controller (120) is also configured to output a second signal to a movement control system (36) of the UAV (10) indicative of instructions to move the UAV (10) to the target point and to maintain the velocity of the reference point (148) in response to reaching the target point. In addition, the controller (120) is configured output a third signal to a sensor control system (40) of the UAV (10) indicative of instructions to direct a sensor assembly (38) of the UAV (10) toward the target object.

    Abstract: An agricultural implement controller configured to receive a first signal indicative of at least one image of a field and to determine a crop residue mass map of the field based on the at least one image. In addition, the agricultural implement controller is configured to receive a second signal indicative of a position of an agricultural tillage implement within the field and to determine a target penetration depth, a target downforce, a target speed, or a combination thereof, of at least one ground engaging tool based on the crop residue mass map of the field and the position of the agricultural tillage implement. Furthermore, the agricultural implement controller is configured to output a third signal indicative of instructions to control at least one actuator coupled to the at least one ground engaging tool based on the target penetration depth, the target downforce, the target speed, the combination thereof.

    Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a chassis and a shank or shanks carried by the chassis. The shank or shanks include an on-the-go nitrate-N sensor or sensors. Nitrate-N conditions are determined for at least first and second zones at different soil depths, either by multiple sensors carried on one or multiple shanks during a single pass of the agricultural implement, a single sensor carried first at the first depth and thereafter at the second depth during multiple passes of the agricultural implement, or a sensor moved between the first and second zones during a single pass of the agricultural implement. Rates for applying additional nitrogen can be calculated from the determined conditions, and the application rates and determined conditions can be mapped.
