Claim 0:
1. An agricultural implement, comprising:
a soil engaging tool for performing an agronomic function;
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, wherein said source of long-term soil property data comprises a third sensor for measuring a long-term soil property of the field 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 third sensor comprises a soil electrical conductivity array; and
wherein said soil electrical conductivity array comprises two independent, isolated disk coulters arranged side-by-side followed by two independent, isolated soil engaging runners, said two coulters and said two runners being arranged in a rectangular configuration to provide four electrodes of a square or modified square array for measuring soil electrical conductivity.
