I went to check on the sunflowers I planted a couple of weeks ago and was shocked to see that I could barely tell where my rows were. I used a two row planter like I've been doing for the last several years, but this time it looks like my field was broadcasted. The rows on the edge of the field have the perfect spacing but fall apart as you go into the field. Also, the seeds the planter put down are significantly bigger than the extra ones. There is no way that this is extra seed falling out of the planter because I didn't have enough to put this much down. Have y'all had this problem before? This is the 5th year of rotating the field back and forth between sunflowers and a fall mix for a deer food plot and never experienced this. It did end up being about 5 days before I got rain after spraying the pre-emergent. Also, do the seeds produced from Clearfield sunflowers maintain their resistance to herbicides like the original seed?
