1. An air flow control system for an agricultural system, comprising:
a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is configured to:
receive an agricultural product signal indicative of an agricultural product disposed within a storage tank of the agricultural system, wherein the storage tank is configured to provide the agricultural product to a metering system of the agricultural system, and the metering system is configured to control an agricultural product flow rate of the agricultural product into a primary line of the agricultural system;
select a selected flow rate relationship from a plurality of flow rate relationships based on the agricultural product disposed within the storage tank, wherein each flow rate relationship of the plurality of flow rate relationships comprises a plurality of input agricultural product flow rates and a corresponding plurality of output air flow rates for a respective input agricultural product;
determine a target air flow rate of an air flow through the primary line based on the selected flow rate relationship and the agricultural product flow rate; and
control an air source to establish an air flow rate of the air flow through the primary line within a threshold range of the target air flow rate.
