The iron harvest (French: récolte de fer or moisson de fer) is the annual collection of unexploded ordnance, barbed wire, shrapnel, bullets and other remnant war materiel collected by Belgian and French farmers after ploughing their fields. The harvest generally consists of material from the former western fronts of the First and Second World Wars, where it is still found in large quantities.
