Abstract

A system for controlling an operation of an agricultural implement includes a ground-penetrating tool configured to penetrate soil within a field to a penetration depth. Furthermore, the system includes a sensor configured to capture data indicative of a compaction layer within the field as the implement travels across the field. Additionally, the system includes a computing system configured to generate a representation of a portion of the soil within the field based on the data captured by the sensor. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a position of a bottom surface of the compaction layer based on the generated representation. In addition, the computing system is configured to control the penetration depth of the ground-penetrating tool based on the determined position of the bottom surface of the compaction layer.
