Though a little behind schedule due to weather, National Sunflower Association Executive Director John Sandbakken says this year’s sunflower crop is looking pretty good. “It’s a little behind right now. I’d say we’re about a week behind normal, but the last few weeks we’ve had really nice warm weather and that’s pushing things along well.” Sandbakken says that while moisture is good, what they really need is more heat units and the crop should catch up.
