Thanks Wes! I have 4 acres of sunflowers. Nuseed super early maturing. Using Authority Elite pre emerge. If you're ever in Mo during dove season, give me a shout.

Thanks Wes

If you can keep the weed pressure down the first 45 days on any crop near about got it whipped. I spray prowl and round up behind planter. Planting on 38in rows. 20,000 population does well for us

Wes....thanks for sharing the info on sunflowers, I may have missed it but what is your seeding rate per acre? Thanks, Bob

So I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around pre-emergents. Like Dual Magnum (metolachlor) is a broadleaf and grass herbicide. Why does it not kill the sunflowers when they germinate? This year is my first time trying sunflowers in my dove field. I'm only planting a one acre area for my first run at it. I bought a Covington one row planter, 5 pounds of Clearfield Sunflower seeds (used about 3 pounds), five hundred in pre-emergents (used only 75 bucks worth), two hundred in post-emergents (will use about 46 bucks worth) and about five hundred in electric fence supplies. Needless to say I am a nervous wreck. I planted on 5/1 and I'm in the process of putting up the 3D fence now. I have all of this documented on my youtube page, but my fear is what if my planter went too deep and the seeds will not make or if the deer and rabbits get to the plants once they do come up. Maybe a drought hits and they all die. Perhaps I should have tried a fifty pound bag of bird seed, but I'm constantly fighting crab grass in my field so I wasn't sure how to go about dealing with that. Hopefully watching your videos will help as I'm always researching and looking to try new things. (sorry for the long post)

1/2lb of Cotoran on top of A full rate of Zidua and Sufentrazone is the Cadillac pre.

Hey Wes, in your friend's field last year how did they prepare the field closer to the dove season? Did he cut the field to drop more seed on the ground or even clear cut the field? With that density of sunflowers were you able to find your birds easily?

Hey Wes. My question would be what's the difference in the size of heads on the Clearfield compared to black oil? Size of seeds and heads means more meat for the birds. Thanks

We do the black oil 20to25lb ac

The last few bags of $20 Black Oil Sunflower BIRD seed I planted only came up very sparse. What's Professor Plots thinking on taking chances on the "germ" of this kind of seed? Also the darn deer eat my sunflower sprouts like deer salad. Just about given up on planting them unless you can demonstrate how to have real success!!.

Good morning Wess , do you ever mix in Lab Lab with the corn when you plant? It makes for a thick food plot and sometimes the deer will bed in it. The deer love it !👍🏼
