An agricultural header for use with an agricultural harvester includes a frame, a row unit having a row unit frame, a first body and a second body. The first body is coupled to the row unit frame and includes a first post, a second post, and a third post defining a plurality of adjustment openings. The second body is pivotally coupled to the second post and selectively coupled to the third post via one of the plurality of adjustment openings. A first contact member and a second contact member are movably coupled to the second body. A sensing unit is disposed in contact with the first and second contact members. A stalk feeler is deflectably coupled to the sensing unit and is configured to being disposed within a plane. A movement of either contact member induces movement of the stalk feeler relative to the plane.
