I'm interested in growing high oleic varieties of sunflower or safflower for an oil crop. Where would I obtain such seeds? Do they exist as heirloom varieties, or only as modern hybrids?
I think if you looked around a bit, there would be some seed exchanges that may have heirlooms, but you may have to just start out with a hybrid and re-select from that. I'm not sure what the standard test is for the higher oleic content.....can't help you there. Good luck!
