Abstract:
When performing a seed planting operation, a variety change distance may be calculated that corresponds to the distance from a variety zone boundary of a prescription map that a row unit of a planter must be located prior to initiating a variety change procedure for switching seed types. Once the row unit reaches a variety change boundary spaced apart from the variety zone boundary by the calculated variety change distance, a system controller may initiate the variety change procedure to allow the seed type being planted to be efficiently and effectively switched as the planter makes a planting pass across the field.

Claim (Index 39):
The method of  claim 30 , wherein the controller is configured to execute the variety change procedure by terminating a supply of seeds of the first seed type to the seed meter when the row unit reaches the location of the variety change boundary, and, after terminating the supply of the seeds of the first seed type to the seed meter, initiating a supply of seeds of the second seed type to the seed meter once it is determined that the row unit has traveled a starvation distance associated with the updated starvation data.
