An electric adjusting apparatus for a row cleaner has a pair of upright posts connected by a pair of parallel linkages, an electric motor with a lead screw and a motor controller. One of the posts mounts on a fertilizing and/or planting apparatus and the row cleaner mounts on the other post. The electric motor moves the parallel linkages to move the row cleaner up and down without tilting. The motor controller controls the electric motor and displays the depth of the row cleaner.
