A seed delivery apparatus and methods in which a seed conveyor delivers seed from a metering device to a furrow in a controlled manner to maintain seed placement accuracy within the furrow.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of mapping speed of a plurality of row units of an implement traveling through a field, comprising: displaying on a monitor screen an area of a field traveled by the implement; detecting a ground speed of each of the plurality of row units as the implement travels in a forward direction of travel; and graphically representing on the monitor screen the detected ground speed of each of the plurality of row units over the area of the field traveled by the implement in the forward direction of travel. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical representation of the detected ground speed of each row unit includes associating different colors with different ranges of ground speed. 3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: displaying a speed legend on the monitor screen associating a particular color with a particular range of ground speed. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of detecting the ground speed of each of the plurality of row units of the implement comprises: measuring a ground speed of the implement; and calculating the ground speed of each of the plurality of row units based on a geometry of the implement. 5. A method of mapping speed of a plurality of row units of an implement traveling through a field, comprising: displaying on a monitor screen an area of a field traveled by the implement; detecting a speed of each of the plurality of row units of the implement; graphically representing the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units on the area of the field traveled by the implement; detecting a speed of the implement; and graphically representing the detected speed of the implement on the area of the field traveled by the implement in side-by-side relation with the graphical representation of the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the graphical representation of the detected speed of the implement includes associating different colors with different speed ranges. 7. A method of mapping speed of a plurality of row units of an implement traveling through a field, comprising: displaying on a monitor screen an area of a field traveled by the implement; detecting a speed of each of the plurality of row units of the implement; graphically representing the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units on the area of the field traveled by the implement, wherein the graphical representation of the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units includes associating different colors with different speed ranges; detecting a speed of the implement; and graphically representing the detected speed of the implement on the area of the field traveled by the implement in side-by-side relation with the graphical representation of the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the graphical representation of the detected speed of the implement includes associating different colors with different speed ranges. 9. A method of mapping speed of a plurality of row units of an implement traveling through a field, comprising: displaying on a monitor screen an area of a field traveled by the implement; detecting a speed of each of the plurality of row units of the implement; graphically representing the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units on the area of the field traveled by the implement, wherein the graphical representation of the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units includes associating different colors with different speed ranges; detecting a speed of the implement; displaying a speed legend on the monitor screen associating a particular color with a particular speed range; and graphically representing the detected speed of the implement on the area of the field traveled by the planter in side-by-side relation with the graphical representation of the detected speed of each of the plurality of row units. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the graphical representation of the detected speed of the implement includes associating different colors with different speed ranges.
