1. A method for controlling a material flow rate from a metering system of an agricultural system, the method comprising:
receiving, at a controller, a weight of a material in a storage tank;
receiving, at the controller, a volume of the material in the storage tank;
determining, via the controller, a density of the material in the storage tank using the weight of the material in the storage tank and the volume of the material in the storage tank; and
determining, via the controller, a calibration of the metering system based on the density of the material in the storage tank.
