A viner for separating a crop, such as peas, from the remainder of the plant including the vines and the pods comprising a frame, an elongated generally cylindrical hollow reel having a surface with apertures therein for permitting said crop to pass therethrough while retaining debris consisting of the remainder of said plant within said reel, means for mounting said reel for rotation about a generally horizontal axis, beater means within said reel for separating said crop from said remainder of said plant, and a reel cleaner for removing said debris from engagement with the inside of the surface of the reel, said reel cleaner including an elongated substantially cylindrical brush having an axis substantially parallel to the axis of said reel and located outside of said reel, flexible bristles on said brush extending toward said surface of said reel and being of a length to penetrate said apertures an amount necessary to force debris away from obstructing relationship with said apertures, and bearings for journalling said brush for idle rotation which is effected by the ends of said bristles being in intermeshing contact with said apertures in the surface of said reel.
