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 $64 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.

The words in this song are still relevant today. Many people take farmers for granted. Without farmers, we don't have food to eat. It's important to show appreciation for farmers. I'm originally from a very large farm in Alberta, Canada. Cheers! ✌️

I grew up on a vineyard ranch in California's Central Valley. I agree with you.

Truth song was created because of the 80s buy outs and the banks the original music vid has a brother in law in the beginning when the 3 guys are talking infront of the Camara when I was doing research for the background of the song.

How do you envision a world without farmers? Or do you just mean 'private' farmers?

[@dwaynewladyka577]

@@imacmill I am not supportive of corporate farms. Family farms need to be supported.

My favorite Mellencamp song. He's done more for the farmers than anyone. If only We could get the government and banks the hell out of the way and leave us alone.

[@selenapozzoli4267]

From Italy agree

[@billysmith9126]

What would you propose as a solution to help small farmers?

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

Maybe in the past it was 50/50 government and banks in the way. Now it is 90% government.

[@mtdewandal]
