Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for selecting an agricultural input. First and second inputs are in communication with a seed meter. A selection apparatus constrains the seed meter to deposit only one of the input sources such that the seed meter alternates between depositing the first and second inputs. Processing circuitry controls the selection apparatus to alternate between the first and second inputs.
