The National Sunflower Association is hosting a research forum in Fargo on Wednesday and Thursday. NSA Executive Director John Sandbakken says they’ll be talking about a variety of agronomic challenges facing sunflower growers in the region.

He says every two years the Association conducts grower surveys to help determine what research projects they’ll fund.

Sandbakken says NSA also works to develop public private partnerships to get more research projects funded and completed.

The forum starts Wednesday at 8 am and runs through noon Thursday at the Delta by Marriot in Fargo, North Dakota. More information on the forum is available at the NSA website.
