”This pandemic and so many other challenges have revealed how essential family farmers and ranchers are to the future of our planet,” Willie Nelson says.
”Farm Aid has worked for 35 years to build a family farm centered agricultural system, and we are here now to support farmers and ranchers in this crisis, without whom we could not eat,” Willie Nelson says.
The 2019 edition of Farm Aid happened on Saturday (9/21) at East Troy, Wisconsin's Alpine Valley Music Theater, the second time the event has been held in the state in its 34-year history.
