my seeder like that on the frame up near the front tires i taped a pound lead weight on each side. that helps give it some momentum so its less jumpy on every dirt clod and you can push harder without the front tire coming up.

You checked to see if you have a hard pan? Was just watching the tiller bouncing up and down. One way to check is to dig up a sunflower plant. Check the tap root. If it is running off to the side. You have a hardpan.

Great job Cody!

The Blackoil sunflowers i feed my chickens have multiple branches. They come up everything since they are in their manure. 🌻 Have a blessed weekend. 🌻

That is going to be beautiful

You worked your butt off doing that. I have the same push planter. Its great for the garden but I've done 1 acre of sunflower and 2 acre of corn. The crapper about the fields is all the dead weed/grass growth getting stuck and grabbed by the small planter. Next time you plant sun flowers try broadcasting but don't over seed it. I've had just as good plants, just don't over seed.

Hi Cody! What seeder are you using? Did you have to make any specific adjustments to get it to dispense the seed?

Hi! Great video!!! How do you determine the distance between the rows? Cheers!

Hello, thank you for the video😊 What about birds? Don't they pick up the seeds?

did you treat the area with anything? my sunflowers thrived in organic material but when I tested the area without it, they did not grow

My man... No till. First few years is hard but after year 2 its 1000% better.

Did you do it with regular no till drill or not till planter?

Great video! Do you do anything with the sunflowers after the season is done besides till them in?

I used the same earthway seeder for my sunflowers and I had problems with them jamming up in the chute. I think my seeds were larger than yours. I used the sweet corn disc. What kind of sunflowers did you use?

@@groundskeepercody6013 thank you for getting right back to me! I got my seeds from Johnnys too. I got the royal hybrid sunflower seeds. Grow them mainly for the bees. I’m in Massachusetts.

How to you keep the birds and chipmunks from eating the seeds?

How long did it take to plant that field ?

Where can I get sunflower seeds for commercial farming

what zone are you in? Thank You for this video, I have been asking so many people how they planted their seed, because I was told that Jang seeder was not that good sometimes it would drop 14 sunflower seeds in a hole etc... and I also want to plant other seeds like zinnias etc... and nobody says anything about planting can you tell me what other crops you do with the seeder?

That planter comes with a cross bar that leaves a line for your next row. I never use it though it's not hard to follow your last row.

Do you save seeds ? Or buy new every year??
