An arrangement (10) for separating debris (2) and crops (1) from a collection of objects (5) is presented. The arrangement (10) comprising a first debris separating device (200) and a second debris separating device (300, 400) arranged, in a feeding flow (F) of the arrangement (10). The first debris separating device (200) comprises a receiving end (220) for receiving the collection of objects (5), an output end (230) arranged vertically below the receiving end (220) for providing objects (5) downstream in a feeding flow (F) of the first debris separating device (200), a driven closed loop carrier medium (210) arranged between the receiving end and the output end (230), wherein the driven closed loop carrier medium (210) is provided with one or more openings (212) adapted to permit crops (1) to pass there through and the driven closed loop carrier medium (210) is arranged to provide objects (5) passing there through to the output end (230) of the first debris separating device (200). The second debris separating device (400) is a clod separating device (400) configured to separate debris (2) and crops (1) from a collection of objects (5) wherein each object (5) has a size that allows it to pass through the one or more openings (212) of the first debris separating device (200). The second debris separating device (400) comprises a plurality of driven rollers (410) arranged transversely across the feeding direction (F) and being provided with a plurality of resilient roller members (415) configured to cooperate with resilient roller members (415) of an adjacent driven roller (410) to separate clod debris (2) from crops (1) by crumbling the clod debris (2).
