A row unit (128) including a pair of gatherers (300, 600, 800, 900) configured for conveying a crop material. Each gatherer (300, 600, 800, 900) including a chain (310, 610, 810, 910) and a plurality of plates (320, 620, 820, 920, 930) connected to the chain (310, 610, 810, 910). The plurality of plates (320, 620, 820, 920, 930) at least partially overlap to define a conveying floor (CF) that has a continuous upper portion (UP) for receiving and transporting a dislodged crop material and an outer periphery (OP) for gathering the crop material.
