Claim 5:
6. An agricultural system comprising:
a plough comprising:
a plough body;
at least one actuator configured to control operation of the plough;
a location determining system associated with the plough, wherein the location determining system is configured to provide implement location data that is representative of a current location of the plough; and
a controller that is configured to:
receive one or more trip locations, wherein the one or more trip locations are one or more plough locations at a time that a stone trip mechanism has tripped in an earlier agricultural operation;
receive the implement location data; and
process the implement location data and the one or more trip locations in order to provide at least one actuator control signal to the at least one actuator in order to control the operation of the at least one actuator;

wherein the at least one actuator comprises a stone trip actuator configured to apply a bias force to the plough body such that the plough body is biased toward a working position, the controller is configured to determine a ground engaging tool location based on the implement location data, the ground engaging tool location represents a current location of the plough body, the controller is configured to process the ground engaging tool location and the one or more trip locations in order to provide a stone trip actuator control signal of the at least one actuator control signal to the stone trip actuator to control the operation of the stone trip actuator, and the stone trip actuator control signal is configured to decrease the bias force that is provided by the stone trip actuator based on a predetermined relationship between the ground engaging tool location and the one or more trip locations.
