In agriculture, a bumper crop refers to a particularly good 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].
