Iron harvest

The iron harvest (French: récolte de fer) is the annual collection of unexploded ordnance, barbed wire, shrapnel, bullets and congruent trench supports 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.
