Sunflowers

Wanting to plant sunflowers for dove hunting next year. Any advise. What kind, when to plant ? Will be planting about a 50 acers field.

Everything you need to know about sunflowers

Where are you at? I believe i would hire a local farmer that already has the equipment.

That's good advice. Colorado city.

They should volunteer next year.

very easy to grow and VERY HARDY

Easy to do, just have to add rain at the right times.

Easy my [censored]. I have tried to plant them every year for years and get very limited growth. I have tried everything imaginable with no luck. I can grow them in the back of my truck, but not in my food plot. I wouldn't make a pimple on a farmer's [censored].

Planting a weed that most farmers spend a lifetime trying to kill doesn't make sense.

Maybe to you....any unwanted plant can be classified as a weed....corn in milo could be considered a weed.

If he is growing it ON PURPOSE for a SPECIFIC REASON then its a crop and not a weed!
