Farm Aid started as a benefit concert on September 22, 1985, in Champaign, Illinois, held to raise money for family farmers in the United States. The concert was organized by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young, spurred on by Bob Dylan's comments at Live Aid earlier in that year that he hoped some of the money would help American farmers in danger of losing their farms through mortgage debt.

  • Farm Aid ist eine US-amerikanische Organisation, die sich die Bewahrung und Unterstützung der familiär geführten landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe in den USA ("family farms") zur Aufgabe gemacht hat. Dazu veranstaltet sie alljährlich ein Musikkonzert mit bekannten Stars. Die Geschichte des Farm Aid begann am 22. September 1985 mit einem Wohltätigkeitskonzert in Champaign (Illinois) mit dem Ziel der finanziellen Unterstützung der family farms. Das Konzert wurde von Willie Nelson und John Mellencamp organisiert. Nelson und Mellencamp erreichten mit ihren Aktionen u.a. die Verabschiedung des Agricultural Credit Acts" im Jahr 1987 durch den US-amerikanischen Kongress. Zu den heutigen Organisatoren von Farm Aid gehören neben Nelson und Mellencamp auch Neil Young und Dave Matthews.

  • Farm Aid startet som en veldedighetskonsert 22. september, 1985, i Champaign, Illinois, holdt for å skaffe penger til bønder i USA. Konserten ble organisert av Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp og Neil Young, inspirert av Bob Dylans kommentar på Live Aid tidligere det året. Nelson og Mellencamp førte så bønder for Kongressen for å fortelle om situasjonen for familiedrevne gårder i USA. Som følge av dette vedtok Kongressen Jordbrukskredittloven av 1987 (Agricultural Credit Act of 1987) for å hjelpe og hindre gårdsbruk fra å gå konkurs. I dag er Farm Aid en organisasjon som arbeider for å øke oppmerksomheten for hvor viktig det er å ha familiedrevne gårder. Hvert år arrangeres det en konsert med country musikk, blues og rock med et utall stjerner. I styret sitter Nelson, Mellencamp, Neil Young, og Dave Matthews. Youngs taler om miljøet er et høydepunkt i de årlige konsertene.
  • Farm Aid started as a benefit concert on September 22, 1985, in Champaign, Illinois, held to raise money for family farmers in the United States. The concert was organized by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young, spurred on by Bob Dylan's comments at Live Aid earlier in that year that he hoped some of the money would help American farmers in danger of losing their farms through mortgage debt. The first concert was at University of Illinois' Memorial Stadium in Champaign on September 25 before a crowd of 80,000 people. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Roy Orbison, among others, and raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Nelson and Mellencamp then brought family farmers before Congress to testify about the state of family farming in America. Congress subsequently passed the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 to help save family farms from foreclosure. Today, Farm Aid is an organization that works to increase awareness of the importance of family farms, and puts on an annual concert of country, blues and rock music with a variety of stars. The board of directors includes Nelson, Mellencamp, Young, and Dave Matthews. Young's speeches about the environment are a highlight of the annual shows. After the initial concert, the organization established emergency hot lines for farmers and farm associations. Farm Aid holds a farm disaster fund for farmers who lost their belongings and crops through natural disasters, such as the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the 2011 tornadoes. The funds raised are used to pay the farmer's expenses and provide food, legal and financial help, and psychological assistance. The 2005 concert, marking the 20th anniversary of Farm Aid, took place at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, Illinois, with events in downtown Chicago as well. The 2007 Concert took place at Randall's Island in New York City (1st Farm Aid in New York) and was recorded in High Definition to be broadcast on HDNet as a 2 Hour Special highlighting many of the performances from the Allman Brothers and Counting Crows to John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson.
