Claim 36:
37. In combination, an agricultural implement having a soil engaging tool for performing tillage, and a control system for adjusting a setting of said implement, comprising:
a first sensor for measuring an implement setting;
a second sensor for measuring a temporal property of a field as the implement traverses the field;
a source of long-term soil property data for the field, said long-term soil property selected from the group consisting of soil texture and soil organic matter; and
a controller that receives data from said first and second sensors and said source of long-term soil property data and provides decision support for adjusting the implement setting based on the data from said first and second sensors and said long-term soil property data;
wherein said source of long-term soil property data comprises a soil electrical conductivity array comprising a first pair of independent, isolated soil engaging electrodes arranged side-by-side followed by a second pair of independent, isolated soil engaging electrodes, said first and second pairs of electrodes being arranged in a rectangular configuration to provide a square or modified square array.
