1. A control system for an agricultural system, comprising:
a memory configured to store a path; and
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
receive feedback indicative of a position of the agricultural system, wherein the position comprises a location of the agricultural system within the path and an orientation of the agricultural system within the path;
select a selected swath from a plurality of swaths of the path based on the position, wherein each swath of the plurality of swaths comprises a respective trigger point;
determine that the position of the agricultural system is within a threshold range of the respective trigger point of the selected swath; and
control a component of the agricultural system to perform an operation associated with the respective trigger point of the selected swath in response to determining that the position of the agricultural system is within the threshold range of the respective trigger point of the selected swath;
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to select the selected swath in response to the location being within a threshold distance of the selected swath; and
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the location is substantially equidistant to the selected swath and to an additional swath of the plurality of swaths, and the processing circuitry is configured to select the selected swath based on the orientation of the agricultural system in response to determining the location is substantially equidistant to the selected swath and to the additional swath of the plurality of swaths.
