Harvest refers to the process of gathering a mature crop from the fields. It can also refer to the amount of crop gathered during a season.

Example: The farmers gathered the harvest of wheat in the fields.

Note: While 'crop' can refer to any plant that is grown and harvested, 'harvest' specifically refers to the act of gathering mature crops.

yield

Yield refers to the amount of crops produced or harvested in a particular period. It can also refer to the productivity of a crop.

Example: The yield of tomatoes this year was higher than expected.

Note: Unlike 'crop' which refers to the plant itself, 'yield' specifically focuses on the amount or productivity of the crop.

produce

Produce refers to agricultural products, especially fruits and vegetables, that are grown or harvested.

Example: The farm produces a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Note: While 'crop' generally refers to the plant itself, 'produce' specifically refers to the end result of farming, i.e., the harvested fruits and vegetables.

Crop up

To appear or happen suddenly and often unexpectedly.

Example: Unexpected issues cropped up during the project.

Note: The phrase 'crop up' refers to things arising or occurring unexpectedly, while 'crop' alone refers to a cultivated plant or produce.

Cut (someone) down to size

To humble or deflate someone who is acting superior or overconfident.

Example: His arrogant behavior was quickly cut down to size by the coach.

Note: This idiom uses 'cut' in a metaphorical sense to mean reducing someone's ego or pride, rather than physically reducing them in size.

Bumper crop

An exceptionally large or abundant harvest.

Note: While 'crop' alone refers to a harvested produce, 'bumper crop' emphasizes the abundance or size of the harvest.

Note: This phrase uses 'crop' in the sense of editing or removing parts of an image, different from the agricultural context of cultivating plants.

To appear suddenly and unexpectedly without any prior indication.

Note: This extended version of 'crop up' emphasizes the sudden and surprising nature of something arising.

Crop circle

A geometric pattern created by flattening crops in a field, often associated with paranormal or extraterrestrial phenomena.
