An apparatus for removing foliage from row crops including a frame adapted to be connected to a prime mover for movement in a forward direction. A plurality of rotors are rotatably attached to the frame and are disposed transversely to the forward direction of movement thereof. A mechanism is provided for selectively rotating the rotor. A first brush is attached to each rotor at a first place on the rotor, a second brush is attached to each rotor at a second place on the rotor, the second brush being spaced from the first brush. An adjusting structure is provided for selectively adjusting the relative positions of the first and second brushes on each rotor with respect to each other for adjusting for the width of rows of crops.
