"The last known bootlegger growing the corn died, and the corn almost died with him. Two ears were rescued from his plot and gifted to celebrated local farmer and seed saver Ted Chewning, with the suggestion that he grow it out for his hogs."
I'm sure the corn is indifferent... but from a genetic survival/propagation-games perspective something about a guy called Ted being chief savior tickles me. What lore would the corn write about Ted if it could. What commandments would Ted put forth.
Ted 10-17: thou shalt save the forgotten seed.
