A wide pick-up (20) for a baler (10) includes a crop feed rotor and auger arrangement (34) located at an elevated position rearward of a tined pick-up reel arrangement (30). Positioned for receiving crop delivered by the reel arrangement (30), and extending beneath the crop feed rotor and auger arrangement (34) is a crop guide plate arrangement (54) including a central movable crop guide plate portion (62) mounted to be moved vertically between a raised feed position, wherein it is relatively close to a circular path traced by the outer peripheries of the crop feed rotor and the converging auger arrangement (34), and a lowered, crop unplugging position, wherein it is spaced to create a gap between the crop guide plate portion (62) and the crop feed rotor and auger arrangement (34). Right and left, primary crop stripper plates (118, 120) are respectively mounted to right and left front end regions of the moveable crop feed plate portion (62), with the primary stripper plates (118, 120) each having an edge located close to a associated auger (48, 50) for preventing crop from being wrapped about the augers (48, 50) when the movable crop guide plate portion (62) is in its normal raised operating position. Right and left secondary crop stripper plates (122, 124) are respectively mounted to right and left fixed walls (66, 68) extending upwardly about the augers (48, 50) from right and left fixed guide plate portions (58, 60), these secondary stripper plates (122, 124) remaining in place to strip crop from the augers (48, 50) when the central movable crop guide plate portion (62) is lowered.
