ABSTRACT:
A centralized monitoring unit for an agricultural implement is disclosed herein. The monitoring unit is preferably used with a planting system including a planting implement coupled to a work vehicle. The implement includes a frame supporting row units which are configured to apply a product (e.g., seed, fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide) to the rows in a field. The monitoring unit includes a product delivery apparatus which has at least one product channel for delivering the product to the row units, and an electronic product sensor which is coupled to the product delivery apparatus and configured to generate a product signal representing an amount of the product which moves through the product channel. An electronic display located in the cab of the work vehicle is configured to generate an image in response to a display signal. A processor circuit is configured to monitor the product signal, calculate application progress statistics, calculate implement statistics, calculate product rate statistics and apply the display signal to the electronic display to generate the image on the electronic display representative of the application progress statistics, the implement statistics and the product rate statistics.
