0 Hi Armstrong, 02 br 02 br 00 The old expression is "bumper crop" which is used when the harvest of some agricultural comodity is bountiful, or in excess of what was expected. I wouldn't have said "huge," but that will do. "Pack" is a package, but I guess you knew that.

00 "Bumper" in this sense is just a superlative, meaning "unusually large or impressive." What makes "bumper crop" seem mysterious is that this "jumbo" sense of "bumper" is now very rare anywhere except in the phrase "bumper crop." But back in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was common to hear shopkeep
