Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for monitoring soil properties including soil moisture and soil temperature during an agricultural input application. Embodiments include a soil moisture sensor and/or a soil temperature sensor mounted to a seed firmer for measuring moisture and temperature in a planting trench. Additionally, systems, methods and apparatus are provided for adjusting depth based on the monitored soil properties.

Claim (Index 11):
An agricultural planter, comprising:\n a planter row unit having a furrow opener for creating a furrow in which seeds are deposited as the planter row unit travels in a forward direction of travel; a sensor carried by the agricultural planter for measuring at least one soil property, said sensor comprising at least one of an optical module for collecting soil reflectance data, a soil electrical conductivity measurement device for collecting soil electrical conductivity data, a soil moisture measurement device for collecting soil moisture data, and a soil temperature measurement device for collecting soil temperature data; and a depth control mechanism arranged to automatically vary a depth of soil penetration of said furrow opener to adjust planting depth in real time based on said at least one soil property measured by said sensor.
