A particulate material sensing and agitation control system of anagricultural system includes a drive system configured to operate an agitatingsystem,a plurality of sensors, in which each sensor of the plurality of sensors maydetectpresence of particulate material at the sensor, and a controller. Thecontroller isconfigured to determine a functional status of each sensor of the plurality ofsensors,and, in response to determining the functional status of a respective sensorof theplurality of sensor is functioning, determine a detection status of therespective sensor.The controller is further configured to output a control signal to instructthe drivesystem to operate the agitating system in a selected operating mode of aplurality ofoperating modes based on a position within the agricultural system, thefunctionalstatus, and the detection status of each sensor of the plurality of sensors.
