Hi y’all. The Farmville team has added a new seed called the Sweet Potato crop. This special crop is part of a great charity cause. 50% of the proceeds of the Sweet Seeds campaign goes to children in need in Haiti. So now you can tell your significant other who harps on you for playing this stupid farm game that you’re doing it for a good cause! And that’s something to feel good about.
The purchasing of these crops is different than most crops so listen up. You pay once 25 farmville cash points to get a 1 week license to buy the crops. The seeds then cost 10 coins each, earns 125 coins, 3 XP, and harvest in one day. Another nice benefit is these special plants never whither. Low on farmville cash? You can get 25 farmville cash points for just $5 USD.

In addition, when you purchase the license you get a one of a kind gift, a sweet seeds flag…

This is a really great idea. I hope that Zynga will consider doing charity causes again in the future.
UPDATE
Here’s a picture of what the sweet potato crop looks like when ready for harvest.
