Abstract
A row unit for a corn header includes gathering chains, deck plates below the gathering chains, and rotatable stalk rolls below the deck plates. The deck plates each have a first portion defining a curved front edge and a second portion defining a straight inner edge, and the first portion of the first deck plate is raised with respect to the second portion of the first deck plate. The inner edges of the deck plates together define an elongate channel, and the curved front edges of the deck plates together define a tapered entry to the elongate channel.
