Abstract
An agricultural implement includes a ground-engaging tool and a computing system. In this respect, the computing system is configured to determine a surface profile of a portion of a field positioned aft of the ground-engaging tool based on the image data generated by a first imaging device. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a surface profile of a portion of the field positioned forward of the ground-engaging tool based on the image data generated by a second imaging device. In addition, the computing system is configured to determine when the ground-engaging tool is plugged based on the surface profile of the portion of the field positioned aft of the ground-engaging tool and the surface profile of the portion of the field positioned forward of the ground-engaging tool.
