A distribution network conveys products to the furrow openers, and a feeding mechanism controls flow of products into the distribution network. A flow sensor downstream from the feeding mechanism detects when products are flowing at a sensing location, and a timer measures a delay period between the time the feeding mechanism starts or stops flow and when the flow sensor starts or stops detecting flow. The delay period is adjusted to account for the location of the flow sensor. A method of determining the delay period includes determining the length of the distribution network and determining the speed of flow of the products. The system can be used on seeding implement with or without sectional control. 2427 5 1 - S1 S2 S3 23 9 7 21 17 7 3- 15 13 FIG. 1 23 00o 21 13 25 19 25 y DN 15 A 791 5 27 29 31 FIG. 2
