The disclosure relates to a process for producing a panel, to a panel produced by the process and also to a scattering head and an outer-layer scattering head for producing a panel on the basis of cereal crops. A scattering head with pairs of smooth rollers and planetary rollers directly adjacent one another allows both long and short stalk half shells to be scattered homogeneously onto a conveyor belt over the entire length of the scattering head. Paddle wheels provide a transverse orientation, in particular in the case of long stalk half shells. Panels with a high density, low variation in density in the longitudinal direction and a smooth surface can thus be produced.
