The row crop mitigation system includes a crop row sensor configured to generate crop plant data, as well as a mitigation tread width controller configured to selectively change the tread width of the opposing ground engaging elements. The mitigation tread width controller having an inactive state in which the mitigation tread width controller does not change a tread width of the opposing ground engaging elements, and an active state in which the mitigation tread width controller is configured to generate a mitigation tread width command to change the tread width of the opposing ground engaging elements.
