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.
