Patriotic Seed

In tomorrow’s America, food is no longer freedom—it’s control.

After climate disasters and soil collapse nearly starve the nation, the government imposes a solution: GenMod Crops—genetically engineered plants locked by microscopic codes, tracked, and owned by the state. Farmers who resist are branded criminals. Unauthorized seeds are destroyed. Those who dare to plant them are punished with ruin, prison…or worse.

In the heart of Iowa, once the proud breadbasket of the world, Elias Turner is a man hollowed by loss. A widowed farmer with dwindling land and scattered children, he tends his fields not for survival but for obedience. Each season, he plants what he’s told, harvests what he’s allowed, and watches the spirit of farming vanish beneath regulation.

Until one day, in the dust of his barn, he uncovers the impossible: a hidden tin box filled with heirloom seeds—real seeds, unmodified, outlawed decades ago. Tomatoes that taste like tomatoes. Corn that doesn’t expire on command. Freedom, in its smallest form.

Planting them is treason. Harvesting them is rebellion. But Elias plants anyway. And when desperate neighbors taste his forbidden crops, word spreads like wildfire.

The government comes hunting. Drones scan the skies. Inspectors circle his land. Propaganda paints him as a traitor. Yet Elias knows the truth: this isn’t just about his farm. It’s about the right to eat, to live, to choose.

His quiet act of defiance ignites a rural uprising—one seed at a time.

Patriotic Seed is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller about survival, sovereignty, and the power of a single farmer to spark a revolution.
