harvest yield
Season's agricultural output
Harvest yield is the amount of crop produced from a given area of land, typically measured in bushels per acre or tons per hectare.
The phrase is somewhat redundant—yield alone usually suffices in agricultural contexts—but harvest yield emphasizes the quantity actually gathered rather than projected: This year's harvest yield exceeded expectations despite the drought.
