Abstract
An acoustic or vibration sensor is disposed relative to a portion of an agricultural machine. A sensor signal generated by the acoustic or vibration sensor is provided to a signal processor that identifies acoustic signatures or vibration patterns to determine a machine operation characteristic responsive to the agricultural machine performing an operation. The machine operation characteristic can be a characteristic of the agricultural machine, the soil, and/or furrow opened by the agricultural machine.
