corn harvest

Autumn field reaping

Corn harvest is the seasonal gathering of mature corn from fields, typically occurring in late summer or fall.

The term covers both the activity and the period: We're short on help for corn harvest this year.

In agricultural regions, corn harvest marks a major event in the farming calendar, often involving combines and grain trucks working long hours.
