What are crops such as corn that are produced annually through labor known as?

Crops produced annually through labor, such as corn, are referred to as emblements. This term historically denotes the right of a tenant or a farmer to harvest and take away crops that they have planted on the property, even after the lease or rental agreement has ended. Emblements are considered personal property rather than real property because they require the labor and intention of the grower each year to cultivate.

The other terms have different meanings: perennials refer to plants that live for more than two years and do not require replanting annually; cultivated crops encompass a broader category that includes various types of crops without the specific connotation of annual labor; harvestable goods, while accurate in describing the end products of farming, lacks the specificity related to the nature of ownership and labor association inherent to emblements.
