Sunflower
Canada started the first official government sunflower breeding program in 1930, using basic plant breeding
material from Mennonite (Russian immigrants) gardens. Sunflower acreage spread from Canada down into
Minnesota and North Dakota, rapidly increasing in the United States in the late 1970's.
The top 3 sunflower producing states are North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas.
