ABSTRACT

A system for applying an agricultural product includes at least one control
valve. For instance, the control valve has a moveable valve operator. One or
more sensors monitor one or more control valve characteristics. A valve
controller is configured to determine the control valve is in one or more of a
primed state or an unprimed state based on a comparison of the one or more
control valve characteristics to a primed valve characteristic threshold.
