Sunflower 
Sunflowers may be used as a silage crop. Experi¬ 
ments show that the quality and feeding value of 
the silage is comparable to that made from well 
matured corn. Under similar conditions sunflowers 
will outyield corn. Sunflowers, when grown for 
silage, may be drilled thickly in the row by the 
use of a grain drill, stopping some of the drills 
to permit cultivation of the crop. They may be 
sown with a corn planter, spacing the plants from 
8 to 10 inches in the row. If a seed crop is desired 
the plants should be spaced at least two feet in 
the row.
