here in kansas, i plant them in late april/early may. but this is for dove season which starts sept 1. the soil is already 60+ degrees when i plant them.

We plant them the day we finish planting corn, change the plates and plant the sunflowers before we wash the corn planter and put it away......we dont like to wash it then get it out again if you know what I mean it's no easy task pressure washing a 16 row planter.

Why won't they allow hunting Ron? Maybe a bow hunt would help if they allowed it for a few years.

Till our trails cross,

PS I can't understand why NJ won't allow dove hunting. My 10 year old loves it and to me it's warm and reminds me of teal hunting. Great for the young hunters.

Sun Flowers are a part of my food plots every year. Deer seem to like young sunflowers plants. Many other animals and birds including turkeys enjoy sunflowers.The way I do it is cheep and easy. Black Oil Sunflower seeds ( Bird Seed) 50 # around $10.00. I carry a bag in my truck all spring. A Small 2 gal. plastic pail. Every time I go to my hunting area I fill the pail with seeds and just toss them around as I walk. No tilling just toss and walk. Ever notice sun flowers growing around those bird feeders every spring.There you go.

Can you buy R.R. sunflower seeds anywhere?

you can buy "clearfield" sunflowers from mycogen. you have to use their herbicide called "beyond". it's several hundred dollars a gallon.

i'm using treflan and prowl for my flowers this year,

ww because it's their farm and they make the rules, we would like to get rid of some of them, and There is no RR sunflowers , we plant and cultivate with a 16 row cultivator, we alwys plant near a power line for birds to land on.
