When is the moon known as Harvest Moon?
"Harvest Moon" is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox, which is usually September 21 (plus or minus one day due to the cycle of leap years).It is called "Harvest Moon" because it provides an extended period of bright moonlight at the time when farmers would typically be gathering their crops.In today's mechanized agriculture, moonlight isn't especially significant. However, manual farming took a lot of time and a LOT of labor in a short period: A poor harvest didn't mean that the farmer couldn't go on vacation, but rather that the village was going to go hungry that winter.
