- the embodiment shown in the drawings is directed to an apparatusi 1 for use, for example, in conjunction with a harvester 13 in harvesting crop material such as wheat. It is common for crop material to contain unwanted weeds (such as rye grass) which are collected with the crop material during the harvesting operation. In the harvesting operation, the collected material is typically separated into seed from the grain crop, straw and chaff material. It is common for seeds from the unwanted weeds and a small proportion of grain to be incorporated in the crop residue material. In circumstances where the crop residue material is returned to the ground, there is an opportunity for the weed and grain seeds to germinate, thereby leading to the generation of weeds and volunteer crop in subsequent crops.
- unwanted weeds such as rye grass
- the apparatus 11 is arranged to reduce the crop residue material and in doing so destroy the seeds of the unwanted weeds and grain. In this way, when the milled crop residue material returns to the ground the cycle of weed generation is interrupted and volunteer crop is reduced.

- the crop residue material is introduced into the inner region 80 of the second rotor 52 about the drive shaft 55.
- the air flow induced in the milling zone causes the introduced crop residue material to migrate radically outwardly towards the outer periphery of the casing, from where it can flow towards the outlet 37.
- the crop residue material is required to follow a path which is intersected multiple times by the rotating circular arrays 60, 70. Consequently, the crop residue material is struck by the rotating elongate elements 59, 69 and subjected to a hammering action. This causes the crop residue material to be milled, so destroying any seed material contained therein.

- the interrupter bar 83 functions as a barrier to prevent mere circulation of the introduced crop residue material with inner region 80.
- the discharging crop residue material is distributed on the ground.
- a distributor head 90 may be provided to assist in the distribution process.
- the distributor head 90 may comprise a rotating distributor element 91 which is contacted by the discharging the crop residue material, causing the crop residue material to be distributed over the ground as the mobile structure 15 advances.

- the inlet end 88 of the conveyor 87 is adapted to receive straw material from the harvester.

- the straw material may be delivered to apparatus 11 comprising cage mill 11 for fragmentation thereof and subsequent dispersion onto the ground.
- a cage mill By using a cage mill higher energy efficiencies can be achieved as opposed to other milling apparatus such as a roller mill or a hammer mill. Further, a cage mill is able to accommodate a higher capacity of crop residue material flow through the mill as compared to a roller mill or a hammer mill. Still further, a cage mill is particularly effective in weed seed destruction, and it is believed that an efficacy in the order of 98% weed seed destruction can be attained. With efficacy at the level, use of herbicides can be potentially reduced.

- crop residue material is delivered from, for example, the harvesting area to the location of the apparatus 11 in order to proceed with the fragmentation process of the chaff material and the subsequent seed destruction.
- the fragmented crop residue, material may be used for other purposes or returned to the harvesting location.
