Informative Essay Brainstorm

I am considering writing about what I know best-agriculture. I would like to focus on a topic that I know a lot about. I am considering writing about plant breeding. This subject greatly appeals to me because I am considering a career in plant breeding. My essay will focus on the history of plant breeding, the importance of plant breeding, and the future of where it will take our world.

Another topic I am considering is apples. I know this sounds kind of odd, but hear me out. Apples have a unique history and genetic make-up. It is extremely interesting to learn about. More than 17,000 varieties of apples exist in the world because of the almost unlimited amount of genetic combinations. The story of how apples came to America is also fascinating. I don’t know what my third topic about apples will be, but I’m sure something exists.

Classmates, Mr. Lister, and other blog frequenters, feel free to help me to decide what topic I should write about by commenting. It needs to pass the “so what” test, so your opinion is valued. I am genuinely torn between these two subjects. Plant breeding is a very broad topic, so finding research will not be difficult. However, writing about apples excites me (I’m a farming nerd, I suppose). I feel like I could make it very interesting, yet finding materials to include might be tough. Please aid me in my decision! Thanks!
