Description
Sunflower acreage in North Dakota reached an all time high in 1967 with 127,000 acres. Approximately, 42 % of this acreage was oil varieties and the remaining was in birdseed and confectionery varieties. Data on the costs for the production of sunflowers is an important part of the crop planning process. Costs are broken down into two practices: the usage of fertilizer and without fertilizer. Land charges, real estate taxes and machinery; the insurance, taxes on and storage costs for machinery were discussed.
