Support life serving farmers
Farm Aid’s annual festival is an all-day celebration of music and family farmers featuring a unique lineup of artists and genres, along with family farm-identified, local and organic foods as part of our HOMEGROWN Concessions®.
It will take place Saturday, September 20, at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“For 40 years, Farm Aid and our partners have stood with farmers, supporting them to stay on their land even when corporate power, bad policies and broken promises make it harder to keep going. This year, we’re proud to bring Farm Aid to Minnesota to celebrate the farmers who sustain us and to fight for a food system that works for all of us. Family farmers aren’t backing down, and neither are we.” Willie Nelson
Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings - Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings perform "Folsom Prison Blues" at the Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois September 22, 1985. A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.

Addendum
Forty years ago, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young were inspired by the words of another musician to help save the American farm. https://steady.substack.com/p/farm-aid-turns-40
Chart a new path
Human beings helping one another raises the collective consciousness, far too long suppressed by continuous negative news, man pitted against man, hatred, propaganda, psychological manipulation, toxicity, harmful technology, ignoring object truth, denial, war and the like.
Where possible, let’s support farmers and others ‘authentically’ contributing to a sustainable planet and future. TY!
