1. An agricultural system comprising:
a plough comprising:
a plough body;
a stone trip mechanism that is configured to be tripped when the plough body encounters a stone or other obstruction; and
a trip sensor configured to provide trip data in response to the stone trip mechanism being tripped;

a location determining system associated with the plough, wherein the location determining system is configured to provide location data that is representative of a location of the plough; and
a controller configured to:
receive the trip data;
store the location data provided by the location determining system as a trip location based on the trip data, wherein the trip location is a location of the plough at a time that the stone trip mechanism is tripped; and
determine if two trip locations are less than a threshold distance apart, and if the two trip locations are less than the threshold distance apart, attribute a same stone identifier to each of the two trip locations.
