Harvest

To harvest means to collect what has been planted and grown in the ground. It is usually done by farmers. They can do this by picking crops. Crop failure (also known as harvest failure) is a loss or reduced crop yield due to plants being damaged, killed, or destroyed. Sometimes it brings famine.
