Well, I bought 2.2 million seeds and I don't have any left.
So, I'm guessing somewhere in there.
We just kept going and we're like, oh, that's not enough.
Buy some more.
Alright, that's not enough.
Keep going, keep going.
You can go right in the middle of the field
and you can turn around
and it's just sunflowers everywhere.
You're just engulfed by the field
and I think that's something that's really neat
that people could just come in here
and just kinda just get lost inside the field.

You know, I thought it would be kinda cool to plant sunflowers.
I didn't realize that everybody loves sunflowers.
I had no idea and it's like and now we've got some notoriety.
I've been getting fan mail from all across the US.
I've been get-- you know,
people just thanking us for growing these sunflowers.

I was kinda thinking, okay, people would need this,
you know, let's do, you know,
something for people or whatever.
I didn't realize that it would make me feel good.
There are some long days here on the farm as, you know,
as all farmers know.
We had to be able to get all these people out here
and they're just thrilled
that we can give them this opportunity
to kinda walk out here.
It really makes it all worthwhile.
