bumper crop
Exceptional agricultural yield
A bumper crop is an exceptionally large harvest, well above what's typical or expected: The rain came at just the right time and we had a bumper crop of tomatoes.
The phrase extends beyond agriculture to any unusually abundant yield: a bumper crop of college applicants this year.
