A crop processor for forage harvesters includes a paddle wheel assembly for replacing the lower compressor roll of a compressor roll assembly. The paddle wheel assembly includes paddles arranged to convey crop material that has been previously cut and chopped by a cutterhead toward a discharge blower while causing only minimal further conditioning of the cut and chopped crop material. When harvesting grass crops such as alfalfa, the paddle wheel assembly prevents plugging of the crop processor.
