A particulate material agitation control system includes a metering system and an agitation control system. The metering system includes a first meter at a first position of the metering system and a second meter at a second position of the metering system. The agitation control system an agitating system and a controller having a memory and a processor. The agitating system includes a drive system. The controller is configured to determine a first output amount of particulate material at the first position, determine a second output amount of the particulate material at the second position, determine whether a difference between the first output amount and the second output amount is greater than an output difference threshold value, and output an activation signal to the agitating system indicative of instructions to activate the drive system in response to determining that the difference between the first output amount and the second output amount is greater than the output difference threshold value.
