- I agree, the hook should be rephrased. It's not clear what "through" means in this context (t · c) buidhe 07:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- Template:U: How about ALT 0b below? I can't think of a great way to briefly explain how it actually worked with Congresspeople, but that's not really the focus of my suggested hook right now anyway. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- ALT0b: ... that in the 19th and early 20th centuries the United States Department of Agriculture distributed millions of free seed packets to Americans?
- ALT0c: ... that in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States Department of Agriculture had members of the United States Congress distribute millions of free seed packets to Americans?
Newly created article that is large enough and sourced to some articles, with plentiful inline citations. The article appears to be written neutrally and the hook fact is throughout the "Program" section. I'm adding "ALT0c" as another rewrite to try to make the hook fact more clear. QPQ is complete, but there are is a link (in the article twice) that needs disambiguation. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
