Data is collected from sensors related to the opener assembly for seeders,such as for discs and hoe drills, in order to better determine how the openerassembly reacts while operating in various conditions and to more preciselycontrol operation of the opener assembly. Accordingly, a control system and asensor array are utilized to provide automatic and continuous down pressureadjustments (according to a certain user specified range) at various speeds tosubstantially maintain a relatively constant seed depth. The sensor arraycouldalso be monitored and controlled by an operator to control settings (such aswithrespect to seed depth and/or opener down pressure) of the seeding implementfromthe cab to provide manual down pressure adjustments at various speeds. Invarious aspects, seeding speed and/or tractor speed may also be parameterscontrolled via the sensor feedback according to a certain user specified rangeofsensor variation.
