Question about sunflowers. Years ago I came upon an irrigated field of them near Lubbock, TX. They were 6+ feet tall and had a seed pod probably 8-10 inches.
Locally is a field of them too and they are only about 3' high and seed pod about 4-6". Obviously planed and cultivated; rains have been adequate this year.

If you do, the seeds are large and pretty light. Seems it would be difficult for the combine to separate the crop from the chaff.
