The row unit (119, 121, 123, 125) further includes an air pressure device (133) configured to generate an air pressure differential across the metering element (166) to retain the commodity on the metering element (166). The air pressure device (133) is fixed relative to the row unit (119, 121, 123, 125) support structure (129). The air pressure device (133) is configured to remain fixed relative to the row unit (119, 121, 123, 125) support structure (129) as the cover (149) is removed and reattached.
