Not interested in historical accuracy?

After WW2 the erucic acid was bred down to levels which made rapeseed oil fit for humans. Further refinements including the removal of bitter glucosinolates were done much later in the late 70's/early 80's to generate canola which certainly is a modern crop (and getting more modern with today's much more precise modifications).

after speaking to several farmers about this who are all local to the area, and that i work for, they all said that rape wasn't grown in kent until well after the war.

I think that having brightness and contrast sliders (which should have been in the game at launch!) would certainly be enough for now. It would be easy to implement in one of the earlier patches without detracting from more important efforts. Then they can worry about the actual colour palette later when the game is more universally stable.

To me it looks like there is to much yellow and not enough green. Looks like it was a very dry summer. However I have the grass off at the moment so that might help.

Well, its clear people would prefer a different shade of green for the landscape.

Hopefully, after the major issues relating to optimization have been solved, the developers will consider revisiting the colour palette they currently are using.

Just changing the tree colour to something less 'tropical' will go a long way to curing the palette.

Trees are the worst part, easily fixed by making them rich dark green, 2 second job in texture editor. *sigh*

Before everyone gets too excited about the "right" colors, bear in mind that the developers have probably used calibrated monitors, while 99.9% of players just use out-of-the box flat screens, which are too bright by default, have poor color gamut and a rather cold color temperature. Simply put, today's cheap, big TFTs are rubbish. I use an older, high-end, calibrated CRT and many different TFTs side by side and the difference is drastic.

Before any valid statement on colors can be made, monitors should be calibrated:

TFTs that acutally have a decent gamut are really really expensive

Then perhaps the game's colour palatte should be designed to work with the monitors we have rather than the really expensive ones we don't?
