Macon, IL
I plant some seed plots for a neighbor who is conventional.

Two changes here. 1) You don't need the floating row cleaner, and even with depth bands it moves too much soil-so we just lock them up. 2) I have found that two spiked closing wheels in loosely worked soil will mess with seed in bottom of trench. I have been told I am mistaken but I have seen it first hand, even with zero pressure other than weight of wheels and tail section. Other than that I can' see a difference.

I switch to regular rubber press wheels for beans, so what we try to do is plant the corn plot right before switching to beans. Everything else stays the same.
