I think they should issue more stamps about such an important topic as agriculture. In the past, there were a lot!

Mine is here.

This is true. I have many vintage agriculture and farming stamps from Africa.

I always enjoy the shot of colour of rapeseed in the countryside and can only imagine how vast that field must be in Saskatchewan, irresistible to an artist.

Great stamps to share today. I'm afraid I don't have any stamps myself. True, not many recent stamps on this topic (or none!)

I got a postcard from Canada (Postcrossing) with a photo of rapeseed fields. It was impressive. I thought it was mustard, which I have. They are related.

The painting on the Canadian stamp is beautiful. And the simple design on the Ghana stamp is so attractive.
