Thanks to Denton Higdon for the above picture and the identification of
the people. The original photo belongs to David Corbin, far right on the
middle row. During tough times back in the 1930s, local farmers banded
together, donating produce form one acre of their crops to help feed
others in need. They called their project The Lord's Acre. Some
churches still practice this form of ministering to their community.
Not a bad idea for this day and time.
Below are some links to informational sites about "The Lord's Acre" from the past and today.
