What's growing in these Fields of Gold in West Tennessee?

Each Spring, in mid to late April, many of the fields in West Tennessee turn a beautiful shade of gold. People stop and take pictures and wonder what is growing that could be this beautiful. Take a look and you might just be surprised.

Sadly it’s not every spring. It’s a rotating crop and we only enjoy it every 4-6yrs.

Tosh Farms grows it every year

@@brentbrewer3269 good to know… I drive hwy79 between McK and Paris several times a week and we hope for the beautiful yellow fields every year but with that route it’s only happens every 4-6yrs. I asked a farmer why and they shared that the crop either adds or deletes (can’t remember which) nutrients to the soil so it’s rotated in 4-6yr cycles. Maybe it depends on the crops the farmer that owns the fields along side hwy79 that determines this… regardless, it is truly a beautiful site! I have made special trips this year to just enjoy/admire its splendor!
God bless and thx for the info!
