The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual(iga aastane) plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (inflorescence(õiekobar, õisik, õitseaeg, õidumine)). The stem(tüvi) of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with the flower head reaching 30 cm in diameter.

What is usually called the flower is actually a head (formally(ametlikult) composite(liit-, komposiit- ; korvõieline, komposiit) flower) of numerous flowers (florets) crowded(täistuubitud, tunglev, rahvarohke) together. The outer flowers are the ray florets(pähik (õisiku osa) and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors, and are sterile(steriilne, viljatu).

Much of the dairy production is concentrated in a belt that extends from Minnesota to New York. Midwestern states account for much of the nation's maize, soybeans and pig production. The nation's chief wheat-growing region stretches across the Great Plains. Most of the chickens are reared in the South. California and states in the South and Southwest produce almost all of the country's cotton. Farmers in other areas also produce poultry, eggs, fruit, vegetables, nuts and many other crops.  The use of modern machinery and agricultural methods has helped make U.S. farms to be one of the most efficient in the world but it has also increased production costs.
