Driving along to fetch my daughter I noticed that the rape field was looking good so stopped and grabbed a shot. Hope you like it and thanks for all your comments. I value them highly my friends and I love looking at yours.
Great dog walking place, however we have lost Milo once in the rape seed fields, luckily he managed to find his way home (before i got home) - he did look very yellow though!! I think he went chasing after a deer or fox and with the rape seed being so tall he couldn't see me!
今年は例年より雪が多かったので、やっとここで菜の花が咲きました。
Due to the heavier snowfall than usual this year, the rapeseed flowers have finally bloomed here.

A wonderful village in Lincolnshire, East Barkwith, hosted an art exhibition and raffle etc. We (Beverley Naturalists) had to try the tea and cakes! One of our members won the first prize of a (super) garden seat but couldn't get it home so swapped for the second prize.
Many hectares of rapeseed (canola) are grown in Bulgaria around the Slavyanavo area.
Canola is a name applied to edible oilseed rape. This plant belongs to the mustard family along with 3,000 other species. Close relatives of this crop have been cultivated for food since the earliest recordings of man. Rapeseed has been important to Europe since the 13th century as a source of food and oil for fuel. Rapeseed production became popular in North America during World War II as a source of lubricants. Its oil has the property of adhering well to moist metal, making it an ideal lubricant for marine engines.
The name "canola" was registered in 1979 by the Western Canadian Oilseed Crushers Association to describe "double-low" varieties. Double low indicates that the processed oil contains less than 2% erucic acid and the meal less than 3 mg/g of glucosinolates. Erucic acid is a fatty acid that has been related to heart disease. Glucosinolates have breakdown products that are toxic to animals. Both characteristics make rapeseed products poor candidates for animal consumption.
In the early 1960s, Canadian plant breeders isolated single lines free of erucic acid and began programs to develop double low varieties.
Today annual worldwide production of canola is approximately 7.5 million tons on 4 million acres. Canada accounts for 15% of the world production and the European Economic Community for nearly 17%. The United States produces less than 1% of the world production. Minnesota and North Dakota are the major U.S. production states with about 20,000 acres. Canola ranks 5th in production among the world's oilseed crops following soybeans, sunflowers, peanuts and cottonseed.
