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 $70 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.

I am in Australia and I awoke this morning lucky enough to catch the last 3 artists. Thank you very much for sharing the lurve via your music on yt. We here in Australia are facing a very similar dilemma. God bless all involved and a special big God bless to Mr Neil Young. I think we all need to stick it to the big man in whichever way we can. As John Lennon sung 'Power To The People.' Much love & respect. 💜🤘👍🎶
