Abstract
An agricultural machine includes a material distribution system and a sensing system including a first sensor configured to generate an indication of a first measure of a first flow of agricultural material in a first material distribution line, a second sensor configured to generate an indication of a second measure of the first flow of the agricultural material in the first material distribution line, and a third sensor configured to generate an indication of a measure of a second flow of the agricultural material in a second material distribution line. A control system is configured to detect occurrence of an anomalous operating condition based on the measure of the second flow and at least one of the first measure of the first flow or the second measure of the first flow of the agricultural material.
