harvest

harvest
Noun: A crop produced and taken from the ground. The time when crops of small grain, such as wheat, oats, and rye, are gathered; not applicable to the cutting of a second crop grown on a field from which one crop was taken during the same season. Wendall v Osborne & Co. 63 Iowa 99, 103. Verb: To sever a crop from the soil and take it in hand for giving it such care at the time as is necessary to conserve it for ultimate use or processing as food or clothing. As used in a statute providing that crops raised and harvested pass with a judicial sale of the land, raised is used in the sense of "matured" and harvested in the sense of "severed." The words are not thus used synonymously, for it is well known that there are a variety of crops that are harvested before their maturity, grain especially. McNulty v Dean, 154 Wash 110, 281 P 9, 66 ALR 1417.
