Abstract
An agricultural system for monitoring plugging of a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit wireless signals and a target provided in operative association with the ground-engaging tool, with the target being configured to receive the wireless signals transmitted from the signal transmission device. Additionally, the agricultural system includes a computing system configured to receive moisture data indicative of a moisture content within the field, adjust an output frequency for the signal transmission device to transmit the wireless signals from a current output frequency to an adjusted output frequency based at least in part on the moisture data, and determine when the ground-engaging tool is experiencing a plugged condition based at least in part on an attenuation parameter of the wireless signals transmitted by the signal transmission device at the adjusted output frequency and received by the target.
