A plugging control system for an agricultural implement includes a sensorconfigured to output a sensor signal indicative of plugging of a groundengagingcomponent and a controller having a processor and a memory. The processor isconfigured to receive the sensor signal indicative of plugging of the groundengagingcomponent from the sensor, determine whether the plugging exceeds a thresholdvalue,and in response to the plugging exceeding the threshold value, output amonitoring signalto perform a monitoring operation, output a control signal to perform acontrol operation,or both.
