  "textContent": "A system and method () for monitoring operating performance of a seeder. A sensor is disposed in each distribution line () of the seeder to detect gaps in the product stream. If the duration of the gap exceeds a gap threshold, the gap is recorded. In one embodiment, GPS coordinates are associated with each recorded gap which is then displayed on a field map such that the operator has a real-time a visual representation of each recorded gap within the field as the seeder advances through the field. In another embodiment, a gap rate () is calculated and displayed by determining the number of occurrences of the recorded gaps over a distance or area. In another embodiment, an economic loss value is calculated and displayed based on different ranges of the calculated gap rate ().",
