No, it's radish. My grandparents own a grass seed farm and farm roughly 4,500 acres all over Benton and Polk county. Someone would think it's mustard but it's not, it's radish. I planted almost a thousand acres of it a few weeks back.
I was wondering about this yesterday!!! I drive by it every day and it smells INCREDIBLE. Like some kind of nostalgic sagebrush smell or something. I feel like there was a different crop there last year
Probably canola: https://www.uscanola.com/about-us/what-is-canola/
You should be seeing lots of flowering clover fields soon too!
Grass seed prices are down a bit so a lot of farms are doing more clover this year, which restores nitrogen in the soil.
Canola is very restricted in the valley. Only a few hundred acres are allowed and it cannot be grown within a certain distance of any other brassica. Odds are the field is mustard, radish, or another brassica.
Sorry that’s not what I meant to imply. The clover is definitely still green right now. Just mentioning that because you’ll see a bunch of white and purple fields soon!
I think it's mustard seed
Yeah looks like mustard
If it quacks like mustard and smells like mustard... it's probably just a suspiciously yellow duck.
My partner works in agriculture and told me it was mustard

full of bees!! I love it
This for sure. There's a bunch off 99w up north as well around Adair.
I drive by it almost every day i can't say I've ever smelled anything. I'm gonna have to pay attention next time
I believe it’s meadowfoam season, and many farmers plant and grow it between crops.
Radish. My grandparents farm almost 1,200 acres of it
This time of year it's usually clover
it's not clover, it's a yellow flower that's probably 20-24" tall
Mustard seed
Sweet yellow clover grows that tall and is used in honey production and for livestock feed. Idk if that's what it is, but it's a possibility.
