    Harvest of sunshine Alison Morris Lifestyles Editor unflowers are not a typical crop growing in Western Oklahoma but Mark and Vonda Graf of Corn are on their second year of growing and harvesting sunflowers. S Graf said they plant the sunflowers around the first of May depending on soil temperatures and they are ready to harvest towards the end of August or beginning of September. When they are ready to harvest the flowers will be black and dry. Graf uses an ‘all crop head’ on his combine to harvest the flowers. He said the head sandwiches the flowers in-between a set of belts before cutting the flowers. This allows him to capture almost every flower head. Graf then stores the sunflowers in bins until he can deliver them to Jettco Seed in Binger to be processed. The sunflowers Graf plants are not the confectionary ones that are harvested for their seeds. His flowers are about half the size and are used for bird seed or crushing for sunflower oil. Graf said this is a relatively low maintenance crop. As long as they get plenty of rain they do well. “They look lovely, they are a good cash crop in comparison to wheat right now,” said Graf. “Right now they are at the peak of their beauty and have drawn lots of spectators.” WFRC plans can sculpture competition Roxane Paone Mark Graf, of Corn, said his sunflower fields are at the peak time for beauty.
