Think about what one single seed does for you as a farmer. A single corn seed that weighs 1/100th of an ounce has the ability to be placed in dirt, germinate, grow into a plant 7-10+ feet tall and multiply the grain yield 500 fold. No man-made machine possesses an equivalent ability to perform a comparable feat. Seeds are a living organism. Although seed seems to be dead it is actually in a state of quiescence. Quiescence means that the seed is at rest until desirable conditions trigger germination, but it is still alive and respiring at a low metabolic rate.
