In agriculture, a bumper crop is a crop that has yielded an unusually productive harvest. A bumper crop can also be a source of problems, such as when there is insufficient storage space for an overly large crop. The word "bumper" has a second definition〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Merriam Webster Online Dictionary )〕 meaning "something unusually large," which is where this term comes from.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Word Detective )〕 ==Related meanings or puns== 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).〔 Ted Schnell (editor).
