The row unit further includes a row cleaner assembly that has a row cleaner arm pivotally coupled to the frame or to the single opener and a row cleaner blade rotatably coupled to the row cleaner arm. The row cleaner arm positions a respective rotational axis of the row cleaner blade forward of the single opener relative to a direction of travel of the row unit.
