Willie Nelson says, "For 40 years, Farm Aid and our partners have stood with farmers, supporting them to stay on their land even when corporate power, bad policies and broken promises make it harder to keep going. This year, we’re proud to bring Farm Aid to Minnesota to celebrate the farmers who sustain us and to fight for a food system that works for all of us. Family farmers aren’t backing down, and neither are we.”
The first Farm Aid concert was held September 22nd, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois.
Willie Nelson and Family, along with Bob Dylan and many more, will be at the Outlaw Music Festival on July 5th at Dos Equis Pavillion in Dallas.
