šĀ Farm Aid: Standing with Family Farmers Since 1985Ā š
š¤ The Backstory
Picture this: Itās 1985, and Bob Dylan, that poetic troubadour, steps onto the Live Aid stage. The world is watching, and heās got something to say. With Keith Richards and Ron Wood by his side, he belts out āWhen The Ship Comes In,ā but itās his words between the verses that resonate:
š¶ āI hope that some of the moneyā¦ maybe they can just take a little bit of it, maybeā¦ one or two million, maybeā¦ and use it, say, to pay the mortgages on some of the farms and, the farmers here, owe to the banks.ā
Bobās plea wasnāt lost on fellow musicians. Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young heard it loud and clear. They knew that American family farmers were in danger of losing their land due to mortgage debt. So, they did what any good-hearted rebels would do: they organized theĀ Farm Aid benefit concert.
š± Cultivating Change
Farm AidĀ isnāt just about toe-tapping tunes; itās aboutĀ values:
- Authenticity: Like a well-worn pair of cowboy boots, we keep it real.
- Empowerment: We celebrate the grit of family farmers who sow seeds and dreams.

- Inspiration: We believe in the power of a harmonica solo at sunset.
š Soil, Soul, and Song

- Stand with farmers: Our hotline offers resources and advice.
- Advocate: Weāve testified before Congress to save family farms.
