Zusammenfassung:	AGRICULTURAL TOOLBAR APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS A method of adjusting a height of toolbar sections of an agricultural toolbar (10), each of the toolbar sections supporting at least one row unit (1400), each of the toolbar sections having a plurality of height sensors (1360) and each of the toolbar sections having a height control actuator configured to adjust a height of that toolbar section with respect to a soil surface, the method comprising: calculating an average section height with respect to the soil surface of each of the toolbar sections based on heights measured by the plurality of height sensors (1360) of that toolbar section; comparing each calculated average section height to a desired height range; consulting a lookup table that specifies actions to perform by the height control actuators of each of the toolbar sections depending on whether the calculated average section height is higher than the desired range, lower than the desired range, or within the desired range; adjusting one or more of the height control actuators as specified by the lookup table.
