1. An agricultural implement to deliver defined portions of a material from a larger quantity of the material to a material depositing apparatus comprising:
a metering roller;
a motor coupled to the metering roller; and
a controller configured to transmit a motor drive signal for an operation of the motor to provide a force that is transmitted to drive the metering roller, the controller configured to determine a pulse speed rate at which the motor drive signal is adjusted to provide a pulse compensation for a rate the material is released from the metering roller.
