A display unit is connected to an agricultural implement to provide inputs and operational controls, as well as status and set up, of the implement. The display unit can be a touchscreen or other device that can receive inputs to set up, control, store information, and recall information associated with the operation of the agricultural implement. The display unit can provide a number of different types of inputs to allow for the control of the various components of the implement. An alert system can provide tiered alerts, such as based upon the severity of the alerts, to provide for notice to a user as to one or more issues associated with the implement or an operation thereof.

A sowing device changes a depth of wheat sowing includes an external skeleton, where one side of the external skeleton is fixedly connected with a connection part for articulated with a tractor; a main board slidably connected to an interior of the external skeleton and a seeding unit below the main board; a support frame fixedly connected to the main board; a plow blade for slotting land rotatably connected to a bottom of the support frame; a rotary roller below the external skeleton and rotationally connected thereto. The main board is moved downwards to drive a straight toothed plate fixedly connected to the main board to move downwards; the straight toothed plate is moved upwards through a meshing effect of a gear to cause L-shaped toothed plate to move upwards to squeeze a horizontal plate to move upwards.

Systems, methods and apparatus for controlling the downforce applied to a row unit of an agricultural implement having multiple row units. A downpressure control device in fluid communication with a down chamber of the least one actuator maintains as a selected downpressure, any one of a continuous range of pressures in the downpressure chamber. Pressure in the down chamber tending to oppose pressure in the lift chamber of the at least one actuator.

A method for growing plants includes both a seeder and a harvester both of which include arrangements for singulating the seeds and for measuring parameters of the seeds while singulated. This can be used for seeding selected seeds and for harvesting particular plants. The system operates by correlating information from the individual seeded seeds and from the harvested seeds in respect of a particular location on the growth medium and may include information relating the growth medium at the location. The location can be determined by seeding the plants in patterns which can be detected by a reader on the harvester. The system can be used to control selection of seeds to take into account soil conditions at the plant.

A method for planting a field with a seed planter is provided. The method includes moving the seed planter across the field such that the seeds of a first seed type and seeds of a second seed type are both dispensed in a single row. According to this embodiment, a first seed disc of the seed planter is configured to dispense seeds of the first seed type equidistant relative to adjacent seeds of the first seed type, and a second seed disc is configured to dispense the seeds of the second seed type not equidistant relative to adjacent seeds of the second seed type.
