Zusammenfassung:An agricultural trench depth sensing system has a trench opener connected to an implement frame. The opener opens a soil trench (3) in a soil surface as the implement frame advances in a direction of travel. A sensor implement (99) is connected to the implement frame so that it is disposed in the soil trench (3) rearward from the trench opener. The sensor implement (99) has a plurality of sensors (1310) in vertical alignment on a side for sensing the presence of soil. The sensor implement (99) has a height that is taller than a depth of the trench (3) and at least one of the sensors (1310) is disposed on said sensor implement above the soil trench (3).
