The system (5) may include an air cart (10) and a drill (12) that are towable behind a tractor (8) and that includes a metering system (26) receiving product (16) from the air cart (10) and delivering the product (16) to the drill (12) for distribution to the ground, such as an agricultural field. The metering system (26) includes multiple metering units (46) that receive separate portions of the product (16) from the air cart (10). Multiple prime movers (48) drive the multiple metering units (46). A controller (54) is connected to and individually controls the multiple prime movers (48) such that distribution rates of the multiple metering units (46) can be varied independently of each other.
