ice flower
The same year local farmers grew sunflowers there was an early-season ice storm. The ice made this lone flower look almost like a windmill.
Here’s a couple of things about sunflowers as a farm crop that AI thought I needed to know; I cannot vouch for the veracity, so my apologies if I’m just spreading rumors.
-
Soil Health:
Sunflowers have a deep taproot that helps with soil conservation by improving soil structure, reducing compaction, and bringing nutrients from deeper soil layers closer to the surface.
-
Pollination:Sunflowers are attractive to pollinators, beneficial insects, and birds, making them a good choice for biodiversity.
