Abstract
A method of automatically planting two or more seed types with an agricultural planter includes monitoring a planter location on a prescription map of an agricultural field. The planter includes one or more remotely adjustable planting characteristics. A seed type is selected based on the monitored planter location on the prescription map, the seed type including two or more seed types. The selected seed type is dispensed to one or more seed metering systems of one or more row units based on the selected seed type. As the planter moves in the agricultural one or more of the remotely adjustable planting characteristics of the planter field is dynamically changed based on at least the seed type selected according to the monitored planter location.
