[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 319436, member: 3549"] Rack'em up: I hate to say it but I doubt you get a good stand of sunflowers by opening day. We usually try to have a good stand about 2 weeks before the season so we can mow sections over the time leading up to the hunt. Sunflowers keep the birds for a good time and that includes after good hard rains. Usually the flower has to be open for quite a while to let the heads dry a little to get a good response from the birds (but not too long because the finches will swarm like bees and pick the seeds out of the head before you can get them on clear ground where doves like it the best) You might get a late season hunt off that field. I dont know. Good luck. We are now seeing some sunflowers after the altest round of rain. Ours are up to about 18 inches with no flower. There is some pitiful millet with seed on it. We will try to bail the millet and then drill wheat over the course of about 3 days and I hope that works. By the way, what type of sunflower did you plant? [/QUOTE]
