Fantastic photos. Its such pretty country over there. Now politically and socially, it sounds like a different story, but based on pictures only, its nice!!!

Questions I have:
1) What row spacing for sunflowers / corn?

Sunflowers are on 30 in / Population 60'000/ha

2) What do you use for fall tillage?

Still experimenting, last year they made a shallow pass of about 10 cm with the chisel plow.
  
3) Is wind erosion a major concern?

In the 1930 they made whole system of tree lines to stop wind erosion. So we have not much proplem.
  
4) What kind of sugar beet harvester are you using?

They will be custom harvested by  self propelled Ropa and/or Holmer
