The North Dakota Department of Agriculture has awarded the National Sunflower Association $77,500 to develop a confection sunflower variety resistant to downy mildew and rust.
The money is part of six grants totaling $435,384 given to promote the development and cultivation of specialty crops in North Dakota.
North Dakota Ag Commissioner Doug Goehring says specialty crops, like sunflower, are becoming more important in North Dakota as more consumers turn to local food sources and as farmers seek to diversify their production.
