		<title>Crop Mob Poetry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[team

let&#8217;s join hands
across lands
tie our hair
in rubber bands

dig up soil
share our toil
compost
in wheelbarrows
pickaxes, pitchforks,
and shovels.
if these tools had eyes,
they&#8217;d stare at each other
asking,
&#8220;did I really do that?&#8221;
you see,
this tree&#8217;s
gonna grow

and we&#8217;re
gonna eat its
fruit
together.
-Nicole Strachan participated in Crop Mob for the first time at Ofuskee Farm. She helped plant a pecan tree.

BY ANDREW KENNEY &#8211; Staff Writer

SILK HOPE &#8212; 		They call it crop mobbing. Think of it as a Digital Age barn raising, or Facebook-enabled farming.
