It is time to resume our sunflower tasks. After we ploughed the stubble with discs plough in January now we need to harrow our fields using cultichissel plough to get ready the seedbed which allow us to start sowing sunflowers. We did two passes because the second is done perpendicularly to the direction which will be used at the moment of sowing.
In our opinion, the ideal situation is to start sowing sunflowers in April (for long cycle seeds), but it is sometimes impossible since fortunately it rained during these days of this year, so some farmers have to sow them in May and even during the first days of June (with short cycle seeds)... at the end, all sunflowers will be harvested in September (if summer is dry) or in October... but we will speak about sowing and harvesting in few future posts.
