Mexico
There was a need for wheat however wheat crops were failing due to them having a large stem and windy conditions.
A man named Norman Bourlag wanted to solve this and so went to Japan and sawa shorter stem wheat. In order to bring this to Mexico he developed an genetically modified wheat which used the short stem and large head.
