An agricultural harvester with a crop processing apparatus. The crop processing apparatus is configured for separating crop material from crop residue and for discharging crop residue therefrom. The agricultural harvester includes a duct for directing a stream of crop residue downstream in the agricultural combine in a generally downward direction, a pair of laterally spaced spreader devices positioned downstream of and below the crop residue duct for distributing crop residue laterally, and deflectors spaced outwardly of the spreader devices and oriented generally in a vertical plane. The deflectors are mounted at a first upstream edge relative to the flow of the crop residue stream and extend downstream. The deflectors have an upper edge curved toward the spreader devices to an increasing extent away from the upstream edge.
