Sunflower Farmers Face Weather Delays and Unlimited Acreage
Seaman notes unlimited sunflower acreage and strong market potential for the crop but harvest is hampered by bad weather. He cites 2 500 pounds per acre yielding about 100 dollars per acre and mentions sunflower oil benefits yet limits for livestock use. Only Minneapolis processes seed oil, increasing costs versus Japan. Three dry days are needed to resume harvesting after 30 percent collected.
