Abstract: A system for sensing characteristics of a trench in a soil surface during planting operations. A trench opening assembly opens a trench in the soil surface as the trench opening assembly moves in a forward direction of travel. A trench closing assembly disposed rearward of the trench opening assembly closes the opened trench with soil. One or more sensors may be disposed on an appurtenance disposed in said trench configured to provide characteristics of an area of the open trench or an area of the trench closed with soil by the trench closing assembly or a sensor may be disposed outside of said trench configured to provide characteristics of an area of the trench closed with soil or a combination of the sensors may be disposed in the trench and outside of the trench.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and devices for controlling and monitoring liquid applications of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, a flow device for controlling flow during an agricultural operation includes an offset ball valve having multiple openings that rotate in position to control flow of a liquid through the offset ball valve to an outlet passage. The flow device also includes a first passage that provides a first flow path from an inlet to at least one opening of the offset ball valve and second passage that provides a second flow path from the inlet to at least one opening of the offset ball valve.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a soil condition includes a plurality of elongate beams mounted on opposing sides of a shank and arranged at different heights along the shank, and a plurality of load cells. Each load cell of the plurality is coupled to the shank and to a beam of the plurality such that a horizontal force on the beam induces the load cell to generate a signal corresponding to a force on the beam. A method includes dragging at least a portion of a shank through soil, inducing a force on each of a plurality of load cells related to horizontal forces on the plurality of beams, and generating signals with the load cells. The method may be used to measure soil compaction and/or identify a compaction layer.
