To Save Seeds, Some of This Year's Harvest Cannot Be Sold

2026NowDeadline · Within 40 days until the harvest settlement

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

If seeds for next year are saved from a small harvest, the income of households that depend on this season's sales for living expenses and debt repayment falls. If the joint fund buys up the seed for preservation, support for other varieties and facilities must be cut. Between this year's livelihood and next year's diversity, how should the harvest of rare varieties be divided?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Secure seed preservation first

    Preserves the next cultivation and diversity, but reduces the current farm's cash income.

  2. Option 2

    Prioritize this year's sales

    Protects present living and repayment, but may leave too little material to continue the variety.

  3. Option 3

    Buy the preservation share through the joint fund

    Shares the preservation burden, but reduces support for other varieties and facilities.

The situation as it stands

Few farms have continued this variety, and this year's harvest is small, making it hard to satisfy both the seed supply and the sales volume. Decision deadline: within 40 days, before the harvest settlement.

2026 synthetic case · To keep seed, part of this year's harvest cannot be sold. The people, organizations, figures, and events are fictional.

  1. Premise 1Few farms have continued this variety, and this year's harvest is small, making it hard to satisfy both the seed supply and the sales volume.
  2. Premise 2The farm's living expenses and debt repayment depend on this sale.
  3. Premise 3Buying through the joint fund requires reducing the support shares for other varieties and facilities.

Where it holdsSeed preservation, sales, shared storage resources

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Minimum seed and maintenance conditions needed for preservation
  2. Unknown 2Cash shortfall the farm cannot bear
  3. Unknown 3Whether the same variety held elsewhere is a real substitute

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observations, staff, and confirmation windows will verify the "minimum seed and maintenance conditions needed for preservation," and rejudge when new findings change the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observations, staff, and confirmation windows will verify the "cash shortfall the farm cannot bear," and rejudge when new findings change the tradeoffs among the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

An external storage facility holds some of the seed but replied that whether the local adaptation traits are the same is unconfirmed.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A citizen buying cooperative proposed pre-purchase including preservation costs.
