A header is formed with a middle section disposed on a main frame and at least two side sections disposed adjacent to the middle section on the main frame (2). A finger bar extends across the width of the header. At least one conveyor device (5) is disposed behind the finger bar and designed on the respective side sections as an endless conveyor belt. The belt is disposed adjacent to the middle section in order to transport crop cut by the finger bar laterally in the direction of the middle section (3). Drivable conveying elements are disposed on the middle section adjacent to the finger bar and the respective side section. These conveying elements receive and redirect crop discharged onto the middle section by the respective conveyor belts of the side sections.
