First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for controlling a planter, the system comprising:
- a boundary definer for establishing a boundary associated with a field;
a location-determining receiver for determining a position of a planter;
a detector for generating an activation signal if the determined position of the location-determining receiver crosses the established boundary; and
an actuator for interrupting the dispensing of seed or another crop precursor for a planter row for a specified time duration or over a specified range of positions in response to the activation signal.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling a planter comprises a boundary definer for establishing a boundary associated with a field. A location-determining receiver determines a position of a planter. A detector is capable of generating an activation signal if the location-determining receiver crosses the established boundary. An actuator is arranged for interrupting the dispensing of seed for a single planter row for a specified time duration or over a specified range of positions in response to the activation signal.
