I am!

I am as the seed that yields bountifully in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere

I am that which sustains generations for centuries

I am neither fancy nor exotic

But I am recognized the world over

If I were skilled, I would be a jack-of-all-trades

In the 21^st century labor force, I AM the x factor

I possess skill sets that are highly adaptable, and impossible to render obsolete

I am that little seed, with roots ever so deep

I am as the seed that yields bountifully in the Southern and Northern hemispheres

I AM MORE THAN I APPEAR TO BE!
