Note
One regular -ed spelling serves as both the past tense and the participle, so the surrounding words tell you which one you have: they harvested, they have harvested, the crop was harvested. Only the transitive uses can be made passive. The intransitive one, being busy with the harvest, stays active (we harvested all September). The participle also reaches beyond fields: fish, timber or a gain can be harvested.
