Sunflowers are primarily used for the production and [[farming]] of [[Sunflower Seed|sunflower seeds]]. Sunflower seeds can be planted in a block of [[dirt]] or [[compost]] to produce additional sunflowers and yielding more sunflower seeds. Harvesting of sunflower seeds is achieved by hand, or using a [[machete]] or [[spade]] (for best yield) on a mature sunflower. Regardless of which half is harvested, the entire plant will be broken and the sunflower will need to be replanted. | Sunflowers are primarily used for the production and [[farming]] of [[Sunflower Seed|sunflower seeds]].
