USDA’s March acreage report estimated sunflower acreage to be down 20 percent from 2022. Given the late spring, National Sunflower Association Executive Director John Sandbakken is expecting steady-to-larger sunflower acreage. “Right now, things are shaping up really well for the sunflower crop. With it being a later planted crop, there’s still time for guys to get out there.” Crop insurance is also favoring the planting of sunflowers. Sunbakken expects this to be a year with weather risk.
