Honored to be joining @FarmAid this year as a Board Member as well as a performer. I got to chat all things FarmAid — with this year’s co-anchor @JohnBerman. The full piece airs tomorrow on @CNN during the 9am hour. See you all in Virginia Beach this Saturday for #FarmAid2026

I’m at this year’s @FarmAid’s farmer forum celebrating the 40th anniversary of the United Farmer & Rancher Congress. Really cool to see all of Senator Harkin’s work! 🇺🇸

Family farmers are facing increasing threats — from rising costs and climate impacts like extreme weather tol rise to land use pressures — that threaten their livelihoods, as well as the stability of the food system and the communities that depend on them. pbs.org/newshour/show/whats-…

Looking forward to joining my friend and fellow @FarmAid Board Member Dave Matthews this weekend at #FarmAid2026 🎥 @Newportfolkfest

John Mellencamp believes @WillieNelson deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with @FarmAid. You know he’s right, right? instagram.com/reel/DdpINYeT-…

Farmers and gardeners – don’t forget your seeds! Come meet enthusiastic seed savers, share some of your own seeds and go home with new varieties to try! If you’re bringing seeds, please keep them domestic, in a sealed envelope and labeled. #Road2FarmAid #FarmAid40

September 22, 1985 — 80,000 people gathered in Champaign, Illinois, for the first Farm Aid. The show was put together in six weeks and raised over $7 million for America's family farmers.

Farm Aid is more than a festival. For the people working every day to build a better food system, it’s a chance to come together, celebrate, rest and remember that none of us are doing this work alone. Because changing a system this big takes more than policy and organizing. It takes community. It takes relationships. And sometimes, it takes a weekend surrounded by people who remind you why you started in the first place. We’re headed to @farmaid ready to reconnect, recharge and come back even more committed to the work ahead. #FarmAid #FamilyFarmers #FoodSystem #FoodMovement #SupportFarmers
