A row steering system of an agricultural machine is provided. The row steering system includes a first sensor assembly configured to detect a first orientation of the agricultural machine relative to a path reference in a field using a first sensor configured to measure a first characteristic. The system also includes a second sensor assembly configured to detect a second orientation of the agricultural machine using a second sensor configured to measure a second characteristic. The system further includes a control module including a first evaluation module to obtain a first confidence in the detected first orientation, a second evaluation module to obtain a second confidence in the detected second orientation, and a selector module to selectively provide one or more of the detected first orientation or the detected second orientation to a machine controller of the agricultural machine based on the first and second confidences.
