With spring just around the
corner, now is the time for sunflower producers to order the
"Sunflower Production" guide. The guide is full of useful
information that will help producers become more efficient and
profitable.
The guide was edited and compiled by Duane Berglund, former
North
Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service agronomist

the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and NDSU
Extension Service contributed material for the guide.
Major topics include:
- U.S. and world production
- Hybrid selection and
production practices
- Pest management
- Hail injury
- Herbicide drift and
chemical residue
- Harvesting
- Drying and storage
- Feeding value of sunflower
products in beef cattle diets
- U.S. grades and standards
- Other information sources
The "Sunflower Production" guide
is available through the NDSU Agriculture Communication
Department's Web site at
