In agriculture, a bumper crop refers to a particularly productive harvest yielded for a particular crop.
Example: "With all the rain we've had over the last few months, we are expecting a bumper crop this year."
The word "bumper" has a second definition[1] meaning "something unusually large," which is where this term comes from[2].
