...enormous Helianthus plant is familiar as the source of those light gray seeds that birds like to peck at and kids love to munch.

Some 75% of the crop, which will fatten farm incomes...

Says Courtemanche: "Merrick bore up with tremendous dignity and grace. You have to develop an inner peace with yourself - otherwise you're just condemned to a living hell...
