1. A system for a row unit of a planting implement, the system comprising:
a frame operably coupled with a toolbar;
one or more ground-engaging tools operably coupled with the frame;
a depth adjustment system comprising:
an actuator; and
a sensor system configured to capture data indicative of a soil characteristic, the sensor system further configured to capture data indicative of a first height of an on-row path relative to the frame and a second height of an off-set path relative to a common point on the frame; and
a computing system communicatively coupled to the one or more actuators and the sensor system, the computing system being configured to:
receive the data indicative of the soil characteristic;
determine a probability of a penetration variation of the one or more ground-engaging tools relative to a respective defined depth range for each of the one or more ground-engaging tools based on a difference between a detected height and the defined depth range, wherein the detected height is based on the first height and the second height; and
perform a control action based at least in part on the probability deviating from a defined threshold.
