Farm Aid #25:
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) – Thousands turned out on Saturday for the 25th anniversary of "Farm Aid,"
the benefit concert for America's family farmers headlined by the
charity's founders: Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young. This year's hours-long concert, dubbed "Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for
America," was held at Miller Park, the home of the Milwaukee Brewers
baseball team. The founding musicians, who gathered under a canopy outside the stadium to meet with reporters before the concert, praised family farmers
as practitioners of sustainable agriculture while portraying
corporate-run farms as greedy polluters contributing to the nation's
obesity problem. - (more)
