Canola Fields

It was cloudy with some light sprinkles of rain on our drive from northeast SD through eastern ND and into Manitoba. I was surprised at the green fields. The small grain crops are still very green in this part of the country.

Once we passed the border in Canada, fields of yellow were along both sides of the road. No, it isn't clover or mustard. It is canola. The plants look a lot like flax or alfalfa, but the blooms/flowers are a sea of yellow. I had no idea what canola plants looked like or that it was a grain. I just knew it came in a bottle.
