Sometimes a crop that has matured (ready to be harvested) will be unable to be harvested.  A dwarf will attempt to harvest it, but the crop will stay inside the farm plot after he harvests it.  Dwarves are still getting farmer experience from attempting to harvest these crops (I've had my carpenter go from no skill to skilled grower in several minutes!).  I can provide a save if necessary.

If you use 'k' on the square with the bugged crop, does it show up in the list?

If it does then the crop has been harvested, but the harvester had nowhere to put it.
Is your food stockpile full?

[Amir Alawi]

No, the crop does not appear with k...it does appear with t, however, which indicates that the harvest was never "truly" completed despite the dwarf getting experience for it.  If the crop is not "harvested" (ie they're getting experience for it but it is staying inside the farm plot), other dwarves will get the harvest job for the same plant and they will get experience for it as well.

Your food stockpile is probably full if food from the farm isn't being dragged to it. Enlarge the food stockpile to stop this from happening.
[But the rest of it... Yeah, that's one hardcore bug.]

Sadly I see this often, my stockpile is full of  single plants and missing barrels which are available but not put to use.
I have a backlog on item hauling which I think makes the haulers chose other things to haul than barrels so making a mess of the food stockpiles.

[Amir Alawi]

My stockpiles have plenty of room.  It's not that the food is being harvested and left on the square from which it was harvested, it just isn't being taken out from the plot itself.

dont know if this may help or not but check and see if your standing orders are set to all dwarves harvest or only farmers harvest. Always worth to double check

What's the version on this?  If it was saved in 0.22.120.23b dwarves and loaded then saved in 0.22.121.23a, a lot of strange things can happen with the building inventories.

[Maximus]

Are the "harvested" crops blinking on top of the plots?  If so, they've been harvested, but not hauled to a stockpile.  I've seen this happen when I had "Dwarves Ignore Food" turned on.

[Amir Alawi]

The latest this has happened was in 22.121.23a, but I've seen it happen earlier in version 22.110.22f.  The crops are not blinking on top of the plot, they are merely staying inside the plot itself.

Save file

Okay, I'll take a look at the save.

[Toady One]

All right, this has been fixed.  If you placed farm plots with the rectangles overlapping map features or other obstacles (including buildings/other plots probably) it was getting confused about their boundaries and trying to harvest from the wrong plot.  The old saves will work correctly when the next version goes up.
