A mowing implement includes an improved crop and forage material convergingarrangement for a wide mowing implement equipped with a rotary cutter bar andpoweredconverging drums. One or more stripper elements are mounted for rotation withone ormore converging drums so as to limit the tendency for cut material to wraparound theconverging drums, and to more consistently transfer the cut material to thematerialdischarge zone. Each stripper element can be located and dimensioned to sweepa pathnear an adjacent converging drum and pass in close proximity to an auger ofthe mowingimplement to effectively guide and converge material. Each stripper elementscan be anoblong plate configured and arranged to strip cut material from an adjacentconvergingdrum and deflect the stripped material towards a material discharge zone oftheimplement.
