During community service Donnelly, Johnson, Williams and Hoercher advisories went gleaning at a farm. We went potato picking at a local farm. We rode on the bus for about 45 minutes. After that the lady showed us what to do and we started right away. The whole field was filled with sweet potatoes! The field was so huge that she had to break up sections for us to pick sweet potatoes.
My partner and I tried to pick as many sweet potatoes as we could! We even found one that was almost as big as a football! Our strategy was we each shared one bag and filled it all up. It went faster that way for us. I was also wearing some boots so instead of going all the way back to the truck to get a bag I had them. We used a lot of strategies that helped us pick more sweet potatoes. I had a lot of fun going potato picking! Some people even had contests to see who could pick the most sweet potatoes!

I loved community service! Your article was really well written
Thanks you Miriam, I did too!
Great article! I also went gleaning! It was very cool to see all of those potatoes and to think we almost cleared a whole section!
Yeah I saw you! It looked like you picked a ton of sweet patoes! How many bags did you get? I got around 10-11 bags it wasn’t very many. Although I though we picked a ton of sweet patatoes and tried our hardest! @19kira
