AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT METERING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

One embodiment describes an agricultural implement. The agricultural implement includes a plurality of ground engaging opener assemblies that each excavates a trench into soil and deposits a granular product into the trench as the agricultural implement is towed though a field; and a first tool meter coupled to the agricultural implement and pneumatically coupled to a first portion of the plurality of ground engaging opener assemblies. The first tool meter instructs a pneumatic distribution system to supply the granular product to the first tool meter based at least in part on a first amount of granular product stored in the first tool meter; and pneumatically distributes the granular product to the first portion of the plurality of ground engaging opener assemblies.
