Abstract
In one aspect, a system for monitoring soil flow around a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement. The system may include a ground-engaging tool configured to be moved through the soil as the agricultural implement travels across a field. Furthermore, the system may include a radar sensor configured to capture data indicative of a flow of the soil around the ground-engaging tool within a detection zone of the radar sensor. Additionally, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the radar sensor. The controller may, in turn, be configured to generate a representation of the flow of the soil around the ground-engaging tool within the detection zone based on data received from the radar sensor.
