Farm Aid board members, staff, farmers and advocates share information about family farming during Farm Aid at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI on Sept. 21, 2019
Tonight, Saturday, April 11, Willie Nelson and his sons, Lukas and Micah, are hosting At Home with Farm Aid, a live streaming event. Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews will also perform from their homes during what is dubbed a “virtual show of support and solidarity for family farmers and ranchers.”
The show will be streamed at 8 p.m. ET on the Farm Aid website as well as on AXS TV.
“Farm Aid is working hard to support farmers and ranchers in this difficult time,” wrote Willie Nelson in a message to fans. “We’re making emergency grants to help with household and medical expenses. We’re answering calls on our hotline. We’re creating lists of resource and working with our partners to advocate for policies that build a more resilient food system for the future.”
Nelson also encouraged those who are financially able to make a donation to Farm Aid’s campaign to help farmers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
