I've also been debating on what a good alternative crop would be. I don't make my living farming but I do have a few acres that I'd prefer to make money on. Corn ain't cuttin it.

There's talk of soybean rust showing up in my area by this year, sometime. What I've heard they say in South America is spraying for rust is a way of life for soybeans. Seems to me there goes profit out the window with soybeans.

As far as sunflowers. Just keep your combine cleaned off, especially if your in a dryer climate, out west. When I lived out west, I had one of my more interesting neighbors that liked to bring his flaming combine to my yard to use my hydrant. Probably won't be as much of an issue here in the midwest.

Off subject but for reference, midwest to me is those states close to or west of the Mississippi. Don't really understand how states in the eastern third of the country can be considered any part of west.
