Question for anyone who has experience with pollenless sunflowers

I live in an agricultural area, and I am surrounded completely by fields used to grow soybeans and corn. Our neighbor who farms this land was very upset when I mentioned that I wanted to plant some sunflowers. He said that they will end up in his fields, and he already has to pull many out by hand every year.

Will the hybrid sunflowers, which are supposed to be pollenless and seedless, still cause some contamination (I don't know what else to call it) of his fields? I really love sunflowers but don't want to grow them if they will cause more work for him. I am trying to be a good neighbor!

Any information you can give me is greatly appreciated!
