Abstract
A system for an agricultural seeding implement includes processing circuitry configured to, while the agricultural seeding implement is in a lowered position work state to distribute seeds during each pass through a seeding portion of a field, provide control signals to a downforce actuator to drive one or more row units toward a surface of the field. The processing circuitry is also configured to, while the agricultural seeding implement is in a raised position work state with the one or more row units lifted off of the surface of the field to turn within a headlands portions of the field, perform a calibration check for one or more load cell sensors that are configured to measure a downforce applied by the one or more row units to the field.
