A sugar cane combine harvester having a topper/shredder in advance of a crop divider mechanism with the crop divider aiding in moving sugar cane to a knock down feed roll, base cutters, a feed roll system, a chopping system including a cleaning system, and an elevator system. The chopping system propels cut cane and debris into a cleaning system where the cane and debris are subject to an air stream generated from a single variable speed blower. The cane and debris in a cleaning chamber are forced upwardly into contact with the rear wall of the cleaning chamber set at an angle of 60 to 75 degrees. The lighter debris is forced to continue up and out through a discharge duct and onto the ground behind the harvester. The cane falls by gravity onto a loading platform to be conveyed to a transit vehicle.
