Abstract
An adapter for use with sunflower head combines or corn harvesters in which the stalks are cut from the ground and ride upon closed-bottom channels from which they pass between rollers to be deposited in a swath on the ground while the corn and sunflower heads are separated by strippers cooperating with conveyors displacing the stalks along the channels.
