Canola seed crops can be seen from State Highway 85 between Palmerston and Alexandra, known as The Pigroot.

Puketapu hill, south-east of Palmerston, lies behind about 60ha of canola seed crop near The Pigroot.

Farmer Ron Sheat said he grew the crop under contract for Pure Oil New Zealand in Canterbury.

It would be harvested in January.

"It gets photographed often."
