The inaugural Farm Aid concert, held on September 22, 1985, in Champaign, Illinois, marked a historic moment in the farm movement, raising more than $7 million to support struggling family farmers. Since then, more than 50 artists came together to highlight the urgent need to address the challenges farmers were facing.

“Family farmers are the heart of this country, and we depend on each other for good food and strong communities. Family farmers aren’t backing down, and neither are we.” ~ Willie Nelson - founder and board chairman of Farm Aid

Since 1985, Farm Aid has grown into an annual festival that has raised more than $85 million, featured performances by more than 500 artists!
