The following Horticulture article printed in the Fall 2017 edition of the quarterly Oldham County Extension newsletter.
Sunflowers
This year a large field of sunflowers located next to a busy road attracted a lot of attention. Large plantings of sunflowers are not new to Oldham County but most are not as visible. Often considered one of the prettiest crops, sunflowers provide a colorful display, especially when the plants cover several acres. The show lasts roughly 21 to 25 days, so you will have a limited time to get that perfect picture. Note that the flowers face east towards the sunrise, making mornings a good time for taking photos.
In some areas, large sunflower crops are harvested like corn with a specially designed harvester. The seeds’ many uses include oil, food and snack products, animal feed, and of course bird seed. If you grow your own sunflowers, the seed can be harvested by hand. Remove the seed from the flower head by pushing the seed to the side. It should fall right out.

Hi, Lilly! The pictured field of sunflowers were grown on a farm in La Grange this past fall. If you’re looking for a farm tour, Oldham County Tourism (http://touroldham.com/) offers information on that.

Hi, Tim! You might try contacting Oldham County Tourism (http://touroldham.com) to see if they know of any fields currently growing sunflowers. I know Ashbourne Farms and Stonelea Farm have grown them in the past.
