π The Backstory
Farm Aid began in 1985, when Willie Nelson and other artists put on a concert to help struggling farmers. It has continued every year since.
The money goes to groups that support family farms across the country. The event also tries to teach people about where their food comes from.
This was the second year in a row that CNN carried the show on television. SiriusXM has broadcast it for 17 years.
π― Why It Matters
Small farms feed a lot of people and often run short of money. The concert raises funds and keeps attention on farming at a time of rising food costs.
