Mellow Yellow


Rapeseed is a relatively new crop growing on British farms. A member of the mustard family. It produces oil which is used in food production and also in bio fuels. The UK is in 6th position as a world grower. Although it makes the fields look pretty in the spring, some say that it is a major cause of asthma in people living in the country.

    What brilliant colours! I've noticed a lot more rapeseed around the last few years than before. I don't know about asthma, but I know my dad always says it irritates him and makes him sneeze.

  8. Ouch!

    Too bright! lol

    I love rapeseed fields.

    It doesn't cause asthma, but it can trigger attacks in people with asthma.
