  1. Probably the worst ever crop if you suffer from hayfever.

    1. I've heard that although opinion seems to be divided. Luckily it's not something I suffer from.

  2. Very bright yellow. I haven't seen that much since driving through Alberta, Canada. It is a huge crop there.

    1. I quite like it because it brightens up the countryside. Apparently most of the British crop goes to Germany for the production of biodiesel. So maybe in the future it will power our bikes.
