[QUOTE="AnnaMooMoo, post: 8078461, member: 152558"] I’m on my second year as growing sunflowers as a break crop. I buy the specialist seed which has been bread to have a smaller amount of pith on the head as it can hold water and turn mouldy. Also late frosts an issue with establishment. Yes problems with dessication. The following winter wheat crop can be too late to drill as they can get harvested as late as December (if the birds haven’t eaten them first). My biggest issue this year was trying to sell them. [ATTACH type="full"]1027760[/ATTACH]The UK ones smell quite odd and I am not sure they would go into the oil market. Mostly for bird food. [/QUOTE]
