Meanwhile, in Kansas, 94 percent of the sunflowers planted are now emerged, and 9 percent are blooming. In the North Dakota, sunflowers are blooming ahead of schedule, and 70 percent of the crop is rated in good to excellent condition.

South Dakota farmers report 98 percent emergence of the crop and 11 percent in bloom, while Minnesota reports 51 percent of that state's sunflower crop is rated good to excellent.

Sunflower moths have been detected in pheromone traps in North Dakota's Stark, Richland, and Burke counties. Banded sunflower moth trap catches have increased at the trap sites in southeast North Dakota. Other traps sites are detecting lower numbers of adult moths (<30 moths per trap per week).
