Langdon, North Dakota, USA

Canadian Oilseed Low-Acid, otherwise known as Canola, is one of the world's leading sources of cooking oil. It was hybridized in the 1970s and genetically modified (by Monsanto, of course) in the 1990s to resist pesticides. It looks beautiful in the field, but its original name wasn't so beautiful: rapeseed. [2012]
