[In agriculture, a bumper crop is a crop that has yielded an unusually
productive harvest] [wiktionary] In agriculture, a BUMPER CROP is a crop that
has yielded an unusually productive harvest. The word "bumper" in this
context comes from a usage that means "something unusually large",[1] which is
where this term comes from.[2]
Though very productive harvests often have positive implications for the
producer, a bumper crop can also be a source of problems, such as when there
is insufficient storage space (barns, grain bins, etc.) for the overlarge
crop.
The term "bumper crop" has also been used to refer to a similar large result
in other activities, or as a pun, such as with a group of automobiles (for
their front/rear bumpers).[3]
