Strong 2025 Sunflower Crop Sets Up Growth Heading Into 2026

NDSU Extension recently hosted their Getting It Right: Sunflowers webinar, and National Sunflower Association Executive Director John Sandbakken kicked things off with a review of the 2025 year in sunflowers. “Overall, think sunflower crop here in the US and Canada was excellent in 2025. When you look at the USDA report that came out, we were rebounded from that record low production we had in 2024. And it just really set up the industry to be in a good position for this year in 2026 and looking to add some more acres.”
