    Harvested first head of the season today, first ever growing sunflowers for me. When I was deseeding the head I noticed small worm like insects coming out of holes bored in some seeds. They looked like minature grubs. How can I separate the good from bad seeds, would dumping then in water and discarding floating seeds work? Is this a common problem? Thanks.
