Abstract
A method of precision depth control for seed planting units of an agricultural implement. The agricultural implement can include a plurality of seed planting units, with each seed planting unit being configured to provide an individually adjustable depth setting and having a visual indicator associated therewith. The method can include receiving a selection of a seed planting unit of the plurality of seed planting units, visually indicating the selected seed planting unit with the visual indicator associated therewith, receiving depth adjustment data for the selected seed planting unit, and adjusting the depth of the selected seed planting unit based on the depth adjustment data.
