bumper crops

Exceptional agricultural yields

A bumper crop is an unusually abundant harvest—more than expected or typical for a given field or region.

The term extends metaphorically to any exceptional yield: a bumper crop of new graduates, a bumper crop of independent films this year.

Bumper here means something large or exceptional.
