How to grow sunflowers

Just follow this step by step and you are good to go:

1. Cultivate your field: For grains, it’s usually enough to cultivate instead of plowing. Unless the game tells you to plow the field, we’ll use a cultivator. Get to the field, lower the cultivator into the ground and start cultivating.
2. Planting sunflowers: Get the planter of your choice attached to your tractor and head over to the field. Position yourself at one corner of the field, lower the planter and turn it on. Now, plant away! But, don't forget to choose the sunflower, first - as a bigbag of seed contains seeds for all crops. You have to tell your planter/seeder what you want to plant.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilizer will improve the yield. Click on the bigbag category and buy the Solid Fertilizer Bigbag. Then, hook up your spreader to your tractor, position it right next to the BigBag and click the button to refill. Back on the field, you turn it on and cover the whole field in fertilizer. It should now be fertilized to 50%, look at the right corner box while standing on the field. It’s okay if there are some tiny spots still not covered. Does the field tell you it also needs lime? Then head back to the shop, buy lime and repeat the same procedure. If you have fertilizer left, you can unload it first at your farm.
4. Weeding: Soon, the first weeds spawn on the field. Take your weeder to get rid of it before the crops grow past the first stage. In the first stage, you can still use the weeder to remove weeds. After that, you’d need a field sprayer, but let’s try to avoid that in favor of our finances.
5. Harvest: With seasonal growth enabled, sunflowers have to be harvested between October and November. Take your harvester and attach the special header used for sunflowers. On the field, lower the header, start the engine and proceed to harvest.
6. Selling and using sorghum: We sell the sunflowers right away as soon as the trailer is filled up. Look for the best selling point on the prices screen and unload the trailer in the designated area.
