Talk:Co-Op farming/@comment-3019533-20100921203001/@comment-70.59.161.30-20101002064221

Co-ops seem not to work unless you have a dedicated team for them. Alot of times people start a random co-op and then get mad because all their neighbors already have their fields planted. Lack of communication is the major issue with poor results in co-op farming. We have a regularly scheduled co-op every Monday morning to get our week started off on a positive note and we never have a problem getting done in the minimum allowed time because everyone RSVPs with how many fields they have available and one person coordinates who plant what crops. Two of our co-op members started doing co-ops with only 150 plots, but this way they are made to feel like they too are contributing in as important a way as the people with 500plot farms.
