Sunflower & Oilseeds

There are times when sunflower producers need unbiased answers. That’s what we are here for. The SDSU Extension team provides unbiased, research-based information to help growers of sunflowers and other oilseed crops make decisions to improve yields and profits.

Collaborating with South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station at SDSU, throughout the growing season, our team showcases local data collected from test plots in a field near you.
