An agricultural belt monitoring system of an agricultural belt arrangement, the monitoring system comprising: an agricultural belt having a magnetic element embedded therein; a sensor arrangement including at least one sensor; the agricultural belt arrangement defining a proper belt alignment for said agricultural belt and being configured to move said agricultural belt through the agricultural belt arrangement; said magnetic element being magnetically polarized so as to output a magnetic signal; and said sensor arrangement being configured to detect, at a reference position in the agricultural belt arrangement, said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element when said agricultural belt is in said proper belt alignment as said agricultural belt moves through the agricultural belt arrangement; characterized by: a circuit configured to output a signal if at least one of: said agricultural belt moves more than a predetermined amount through the agricultural belt arrangement without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element, and, a predetermined amount of time passes without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element when said agricultural belt is moving through the agricultural belt arrangement; a field generator; said magnetic element including a ferromagnetic material; and, said field generator being configured to magnetize said ferromagnetic material so as to make said magnetic element detectable by said sensor arrangement. an agricultural belt having a magnetic element embedded therein; a sensor arrangement including at least one sensor; the agricultural belt arrangement defining a proper belt alignment for said agricultural belt and being configured to move said agricultural belt through the agricultural belt arrangement; said magnetic element being magnetically polarized so as to output a magnetic signal; and said sensor arrangement being configured to detect, at a reference position in the agricultural belt arrangement, said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element when said agricultural belt is in said proper belt alignment as said agricultural belt moves through the agricultural belt arrangement; characterized by: a circuit configured to output a signal if at least one of: said agricultural belt moves more than a predetermined amount through the agricultural belt arrangement without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element, and, a predetermined amount of time passes without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element when said agricultural belt is moving through the agricultural belt arrangement; a field generator; said magnetic element including a ferromagnetic material; and, said field generator being configured to magnetize said ferromagnetic material so as to make said magnetic element detectable by said sensor arrangement. a circuit configured to output a signal if at least one of: said agricultural belt moves more than a predetermined amount through the agricultural belt arrangement without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element, and, a predetermined amount of time passes without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element when said agricultural belt is moving through the agricultural belt arrangement; said agricultural belt moves more than a predetermined amount through the agricultural belt arrangement without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element, and, a predetermined amount of time passes without said sensor detecting said magnetic signal outputted by said magnetic element when said agricultural belt is moving through the agricultural belt arrangement; a field generator; said magnetic element including a ferromagnetic material; and, said field generator being configured to magnetize said ferromagnetic material so as to make said magnetic element detectable by said sensor arrangement.
