Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An agricultural machine comprises a central commodity storage tank configured to store commodity, a row unit having a hopper configured to receive the commodity from the tank and a meter configured to distribute the commodity from the hopper to the soil. A manifold assembly is positioned between the central storage tank and the hopper and includes a controllable valve configured to direct commodity. The controller moves the valve between positions to direct commodity from the central storage tank to the hopper and either from the hopper to the central storage tank or from the hopper to a seed bin separate from the central storage tank. The controller may move the valve in response to measured characteristics associated with the distribution of commodity or in response to input from a user interface.
