I found this scene at the beginning of November this year up on the escarpment. I was driving around looking for good bronze fall foliage landscape scenes. Such an interesting contrast to see the end of autumn paired with spring. I looked this up and think it is a canola cover crop.
Its benefit: "Grows fast; adds huge amount of humus".
"Comments: Excellent catch crop after an early harvest. This cabbage relative sprouts and grows fast, produces large, nitrogen-rich leaves which crowd out weeds. Deep roots loosen tough clay soil. Matures in 8 to 10 weeks; large vegetative mass decays fast, makes a wealth of humus when turned under. Cover crops should be turned under several weeks before the area is planted with crops in order to allow sufficient decomposition."
