If your row cleaners seem like they won’t go low enough ensure that the row cleaners are unpinned and mounted on the correct holes. See the two images below that show two commonly used row cleaners that have adjustments and pins that can be moved.

The goal for row cleaners is to move as minimal soil while keeping a fixed engagement with the soil. In the images below we see that the stability of the row cleaners were too low. A solution is to raise the pressures in the up and down air bags.
Once in the field it is always a good idea to verify your Scribe Test was done correctly and closing wheels are aligned. In the left image below we see a furrow being closed by an unaligned closing system. This will cause air pockets which will affect germination and seed growth. The right image shows a closing system after being aligned in the field.
