Abstract
A method for identifying commodity flow through a meter on an agricultural machine. The method includes providing a meter housing coupled to a tank and a first sensor in communication with a controller, coupling the first sensor to a location proximate to the meter housing, identifying, with the controller through the first sensor, when a buildup of commodity is positioned adjacent to the first sensor, and initiating a first response, with the controller, when the buildup of commodity is identified adjacent to the first sensor.
