Rivers, MB | We have oil-type sunflowers that have been dessicated. Wondering what moisture to start harvesting them at. We're putting them in a 17000 bu bin with a 5 or 7.5 hp fan (not sure, the bin is rented). I've been told that confectionary sunflowers can be aired down from 15% to 10% but I'm thinking that oil type sunflowers will have bigger air resistance and that i should wait till 13% before starting the harvest. This is our 2nd year of growing sunflowers and still learning (probably will still be learning 20 years from now!). Yield looks very promising. We're in Manitoba so air temperatures will be in the 0 to 15 degrees Celsius (32 to 60 degrees F). Thanks in advance. | |
