Abstract
An agricultural implement including an implement frame, a trench opener, a gauge wheel arm and a depth adjustment assembly. A depth adjustment body is disposed between the depth adjustment assembly and the gauge wheel arm. An accelerometer is disposed on at least one of the depth adjustment assembly, the gauge wheel arm and the depth adjustment body and is configured to detect a position thereof. The accelerometer is disposed such that none of the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis of the accelerometer are perpendicular to the soil surface across the entire range of motion of the depth adjustment assembly, the gauge wheel arm or depth adjustment body to which the accelerometer is attached.
