Photo Friday Guessing Game
Do you know what this is? (Hint–I saw it last weekend when visiting my parents in North Dakota. It has replaced some of the wheat grown in North Dakota in the past 20 years.)

I’m pretty sure it’s canola, also known as rapeseed. Do I get a prize?!

Cate’s guess sounds as good as any to me
I’ve no clue, but I love yellow flowers and love the look of the field, especially in the last photo.

Wow!!!Those are the most vibrant flowers I’d ever seen. Great pictures!!!
sun and flowers, for some reason just work so well together.

It looks like mustard, but I can’t imagine they are growing mustard like that… I don’t know.

Caitlin’s right–it is canola. This was the first I’d seen it so close to my parents’ house. When I grew up it was wheat, durum, barley, sunflowers, and occasionally corn. Soybeans came later, and most recently, canola to the area.
It was beautiful when we were there, but my sister-in-law said it will start to be really smelly in a few weeks.
I use canola oil almost exclusively now. Did you know that Canola Harvest brand oil is made in a dedicated factory, important for people who are concerned about cross-contaminated with peanut and other oils for allergy reasons.
Sorry, no prize, but thanks for your guesses, and congrats to Caitlin who knew the answer!
