Sunflowers -- ND #1; SD #2

Just after posting the winter wheat story, it is quite coincidental to post this story on sunflowers.

Data points, sunflower acreage:
  • North Dakota: 760,000 acres
  • South Dakota: 540,000 acres
Weather and flooding resulted in a loss of hundreds of thousands of sunflower acres last year in North Dakota, and it cost the state bragging rights to South Dakota.

The acreage in North Dakota this year represents a 30 percent increase over last year.
