OK so I scoffed at the idea of doing plant breeding for 9 in 3 but I just found out there's a guy working on breeding sorghum for Niger in Indiana so ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
(I still think that's a totally stupid way to do it and so do people way smarter than me, but that doesn't stop some people from trying. I am now imagining the arguments between the stay-at-home 3 breeders and the traveling ones. "BUT YOUR VARIETIES ARE INAPPROPRIATE!" "BUT SCIENCE! THEY YIELD GREAT IN OUR TRIALS!" "BUT THEY ARE TERRIBLE IN THE FIELD!" and etc. etc.)
(everything can be about Panem if you try hard enough)
