The equilibrium price will go down and equilibrium quantity will be indeterminate.

Bumper crop refers to a situation when a certain type of crop exeprience sudden bump in productivity. If at that exact time more people become allergic to this crop, the crop would be overly stocked in the warehouse and the owner would most likely sell it at lower price.
