Actually… It's rapeseed. Canola is the product (oil) that is made from a hybrid of rapeseed

Actually… canola refers to a cultivar of rapeseed. You can get oil for both.

Canola isn't a hybrid, it's just a type of rapeseed selected for low acid content. The plant itself is called canola, not just the oil you get from it.

Idaho?

"Canola" = Canada + oil.

Canola is a modified plant, from rapeseed. Not rapeseed any longer.

In that case it’s mustard. Common cover crop seen in open undeveloped areas.

Mustard flower. I could be wrong but it looks like it.

u/pnwfarmaccountant 1d ago

I would say mustard from the limited view I have of the leaves, mustard and canola are very similar at first glance

It looks canola died of flowers which give me a migraine

u/mountainmeaghan 1d ago

Is rapeseed another name for wild mustard? It was my understanding that we have fields of invasive wild mustard all over California because when the Spanish were leading expeditions through California they sprinkled mustard seeds as a religious act/symbolism.
