Abstract
A plugging control system for an agricultural implement includes a sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of plugging of a ground engaging component and a controller having a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive the sensor signal indicative of plugging of the ground engaging component from the sensor, determine whether the plugging exceeds a threshold value, and in response to the plugging exceeding the threshold value, output a monitoring signal to perform a monitoring operation, output a control signal to perform a control operation, or both.
