A crop material processor for disintegrating baled crop material for controlling the crop material for disintegration while preventing crop material from wrapping around the rollers and causing the crop material processor to jam. The crop material processor comprises a container, a disintegrator, a discharge opening and means for manipulating the crop material for disintegration by the disintegrator. The container, receives and contains the crop material. The disintegrator comprises a flail roller and at least one flail. The flail roller is rotatable around its own longitudinal axis. Each of the flails radially extend from the flail roller. The discharge opening is at the bottom of one of the side walls. The manipulation means comprises curved and angled paddles that rotate the crop material without substantially breaking the crop material apart. The corner of the curved paddle grasps the crop material and rotates it. If the paddle were to remain grasping the crop material, the paddle would tend to pull the crop material apart. The curved surface, however, tends to pull the paddle out of the crop material as the roller is rotated. Further, the angled paddles tend to guide the crop material longitudinally toward the centre of the crop processor, that is away from the front and back walls. Moreover, at least one of the sidewalls of the container is adapted for close proximity to the paddles.
