Abstract
A harvester especially adapted for removing ears of sweet corn from stalks which are severed and enter the harvester, rather than being ejected by the snapping rolls of a primary ear stripping mechanism of the harvester, uses stalk engaging belts which bring the severed stalks into stalk ejecting rolls. Ahead of the rolls are stripping rods which engage the ears at their shanks and peel the ears off the stalks as the stalks are pulled outwardly out of the harvester by the ejecting rolls.
