Raising the Roof

You may have watched YouTube videos of an Amish community moving a barn by simply having hundreds of men lift and carry the entire structure;  Many hands make for light work. The picture below is a testament to the above proverb. While the coleoptiles of individual seedlings punched through the crust in this picture, it also shows how the combined power of about  30 coleoptiles heaved a nearly foot-and-a-half-long section of crust to reach the surface.
