The Impact of the Farm Aid Festival

Farm Aid artists, including board member Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Micah Nelson and Allison Russell are joined by staff members to speak about what the festival means to them and how it impacts farmers and the audiences watching every year.

Farm Aid’s mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. Farm Aid artists and board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Margo Price host an annual festival to raise funds to support Farm Aid’s work with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family farm food. For more than 35 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised more than $60 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.
