Abstract
An upper stalk guide or control for a forage harvester header. The stalk control comprises a transverse member spaced above the crop conveying passageways of the header, two outwardly and forwardly diverging arms attached to the respective ends of the transverse member and a centrally disposed wedge member for subdividing the upper portions of the crop stalks so as to enhance the clog-free feeding of the butt ends of the stalk through the crop receiving passageways of the header and into the throat of the harvester in advance of the upper portions.
