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 2):
An agricultural planter comprising:\n a planter row unit having a furrow opener for creating a furrow in which seeds are deposited; 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 means for controlling a soil penetration depth of said furrow opener to control planting depth based on said at least one soil property measured by said sensor; wherein said means for controlling said soil penetration depth of said furrow opener comprises an automatic adjustment means for adjusting said soil penetration depth of said furrow opener in real time based on said at least one soil property measured by said sensor.
