Field mustard, a.k.a turnip mustard, is cultivated in many parts of the world as a source of oilseed used to make a type of canola vegetable oil. Originally cultivated for oil production in Canada, the word canola comes from CANada Oil, Low Acid.
Wild mustard in bloom has a way of simply flowing over a field, turning it awash in bright yellow, something of a mellow yellow as it sways back and forth in the breeze before a storm.

Is this what Donovan Leitch was singing about in the '60s? He was from Scotland. Is there field mustard on the Scottish hillsides? Help me out here; I've never been across the big pond.
