Claim:
1. A system for automatically manipulating application distribution of agricultural materials, the system comprising: a sensor associated with a steering system of a vehicle configured to apply a commodity to a field; a controller configured to receive a signal from the sensor and determine a deviation value associated with a difference between a turning direction of travel and a straight direction of travel associated with operation of the vehicle; the controller being configured to communicate with a first commodity delivery system that extends longitudinally along a first lateral side of the vehicle and a second commodity delivery system that extends longitudinally along a second lateral side of the vehicle, each of the first and second commodity delivery systems being in communication with a common commodity container and supported by the vehicle; and the controller being configured to manipulate operation of the first commodity delivery system and the second commodity delivery system to deliver different amounts of the commodity to the field via the first commodity delivery system and the second commodity delivery system if the deviation value exceeds a threshold; wherein more commodity is delivered to a first spinner associated with a respective one of the first and second commodity delivery systems that is oriented toward an outside turn radius side of the vehicle than a second spinner that is associated with the commodity delivery system oriented toward an inside turn radius side of the vehicle.
