Sunflowers

This post is a "reprise" from Day 3, September 3, 2014

South Dakota is the largest producer of sunflowers and their byproducts in the United States.  Farming over 600,00 acres.  There are oilseed types that are used for birdseed and sunflower oil, and there is confection type that is used for human consumption. There are hybrids of sunflower seeds that produce higher yields.  If you are interested in producing sunflowers, check this website.
