How it's used
Primarily used in agricultural contexts involving cereal crops like rice or wheat. While it can metaphorically refer to reaping rewards or results, it sounds formal and is rarely used in casual daily conversation to describe non-farming activities.
Examples
The farmers finished harvesting the rice very quickly.
Was the weather good during the harvest this year?
