File under: I Did Not Know That

So on the flight in I noticed all the farm fields filled with this bright yellow crop. Driving through the countryside, we saw even more. Turns out it was "Raps" and is being used for the production of biodiesel. Now that I finally got back online, I was able to wiki it.

Canola is one of many selected cultivars of rapeseed bred to have a low erucic acid content. Canola was developed in Canada and its name is a contraction of "Canadian oil, low acid."
