Jackpot. #photography #Ontario #farming #sunflowers #EastCoastKin

Huge sunflower field under a blue summer sky. And yes I was very careful to stand on the edge and not trample the crop like so many people seem to feel entitled to do these days.

Just got confused and educated at the same time.

ID of yellow crop. Rutabaga? Canola, rapeseed, oilseed, neep, colza, Swede, etc etc.

I'll be honest with you, I have no clue. I thought that it was rapeseed but googled "what are those bright yellow fields all over Ontario?" just to be sure. Of course it tells me that it's Canola. So I guess I should be using my plant app. One sec.
