If you're on social media, you might know him. "Sunflower Farmer" has quite a presence on Twitter and Instagram. In real life, he's Mark Rohrich, a farmer and agronomist from Ashley, N.D. Rohrich farms with his dad and brother. They grow around 800 acres of oil sunflower; the rest of their acres are split among soybeans, corn and spring wheat.Since 2012, Rohrich and fellow agronomist Matthew Schlepp have been running Maverick Ag, a full-service agronomy center specializing in commercial seed, crop protection products and fertilizer. As if that's not enough, Rohrich also finds time to maintain several social media accounts, where he talks about farming and is happy to interact with producers from across the world.
