Why Choose a Mid Oleic Sunflower?
Mid oleic (NuSun®) sunflowers provide growers with an excellent balance between conventional oil and high oleic oil production.
Research conducted in the Southern Great Plains has shown that mid oleic sunflower hybrids can match or exceed conventional sunflower yields while providing access to premium oil markets. Texas A&M research found NuSun yields were equal to or greater than conventional sunflower yields in multiple trials.
