I planted 3 acres of sunflower by broadcasting seed. Power went out one night, so while I was at the meter/distribution box replacing a bad breaker, the wife said the deer were liking my sunflower patch. The next morning, it looked like someone had mowed the entire 3 acres of sunflower to a one foot height. Not a single sunflower plant escaped being topped!
