What is a bumper crop?

A bumper crop is a term used to describe an unusually large harvest of a particular crop in a given year. This can be the result of ideal growing conditions such as optimal weather, fertile soil, and proper care and maintenance of the crop. Bumper crops can lead to an abundance of produce, which can result in lower prices for the crop as supply exceeds demand.

Farmers often welcome bumper crops as they can lead to increased profits and revenue. However, they can also present challenges such as the need for additional storage and distribution capabilities to handle the surplus produce.

Overall, a bumper crop is generally seen as a positive outcome for agriculture, as it helps to ensure food security, stabilize prices, and increase profits for farmers.
