Video: Sunflower Harvesting Machine - How to harvest and processing sunflower seeds
How to harvest sunflowers seeds is largely a matter of preference and neither method provides a greater yield. One method for harvesting sunflower seeds allows the seeds to fully ripen on the stem. When seeds are fully ripened and just beginning to loosen from the head, cut the stem about one inch below the head. Now briskly rub the seeds from the head with your hand, blow off the chaff and allow the seeds to dry before storing.
