The slot is defined between a snapper plate and a snapper shoulder on the opposite side of the slot to the snapper plate for together snapping crop, that is ears to be harvested, from maize stalks guided into said slot. Beneath the slot there are snapper rolls for engaging stalks within said slot and drawing the stalks downwardly to draw crop against the snapper shoulder and snapper plate for separation from the maize stalks. A conveyor screw extends along an axis substantially parallel to, above, and to one side of said slot for conveying crop separated from maize stalks, away from the slot.
