An autonomous agricultural carrier vehicle, for carrying an agricultural implement includes a chassis with steerable wheels or tracks attached to a frame, wherein the frame includes a mounting apparatus for connection to the agricultural implement. The vehicle further includes an environmental sensor system for determining obstacles or elements present in the vicinity of the carrier vehicle and a control device for controlling the carrier vehicle or the at least one implement, wherein the control device is connected to a position determination system that captures and issues a position to create an autonomous agricultural carrier vehicle with which the impact force is not reduced. No additional tractor vehicle is needed for the implement and no operator is necessary during field work, wherein it is provided that position-dependent working instructions for the carrier vehicle are preferably stored in the control device.

A system and method are disclosed for scoring sentiments of communication activity and includes one or more databases that stores data describing electronic communication between one or more customer devices and one or more service center devices and a computer. The computer is configured to monitor communication activity of the one or more customer devices and the one or more service center devices to determine whether a communication channel has been opened between the one or more customer devices and the one or more service center devices and identify one or more communication activities associated with the electronic communications. The computer is further configured to compare the identified one or more communication activities with one or more predetermined communication data, determine a sentiment score based on one or more correlations between the identified one or more communication activities and the communication data.

The present invention relates to the planning and implementation of agricultural measures using remote sensing data and local field data.

Using remote sensors, the total required amount and partial-area-specific required amounts of plant protection agents and/or nutrients and/or seeds and/or the like can be determined, and based on this information, the use of an application device can be planned. Using local field sensors, the current local required amounts in the field are determined so that the application device can apply the corresponding amounts as required.

An equipment notification system for a component of an agricultural vehicle, including a processor configured to receive a first signal indicative of an operational parameter of the agricultural vehicle, determine an absence of the operational parameter based at least in part on the first signal, compare a period of time of the absence of the operational parameter to a threshold period of time associated with the operational parameter, and output, in response to determining that the period of time of the absence of the operational parameter exceeds the threshold period of time, a second signal indicative of an instruction to provide a notification regarding a position of the component of the agricultural vehicle via a user interface.

Systems and methods for implementing a plot in a field based on the location of a marker placed in an application prescription map prior to a crop input application operation are disclosed. The plot defines a plot region. The plot region is defined during the crop input application operation based on the marker location.

A self-propelled seeding vehicle includes a seed sorting and placement unit controlled by an on-board control system. The control system further controls a motive power unit operable to cause the vehicle to controllably traverse an area of ground to be seeded. The control system is further operable to control the sequential depositing of seeds independently of the speed of traversal of the ground by the vehicle.

One embodiment describes a seed gate assembly disposed between a seed storage tank and a seed meter. The seed gate assembly includes a gate barrier that controls seed flow from the seed storage tank into the seed meter by moving to an open position that enables seed flow from the storage tank into the seed meter and by moving to a closed position that blocks seed flow from the storage tank into the seed meter; and a first seed agitator extending substantially perpendicularly from a surface of the gate barrier, in which the first seed agitator extends into the seed storage tank as the gate barrier moves toward the closed position to dislodge clumped seeds in the seed storage tank.

An agricultural device associated with reduced tillage techniques in a field includes a frame and a separator supported by the frame. The separator is configured to form a strip of exposed soil in residual plant matter in the field. A crimping device associated with the separator is configured to at least partially crush stems of residual plant matter while maintaining the strip.
