Margo Price and Annie Nelson have joined the board of directors of Willie Nelson’s Farm Aid.

The two longtime advocates will contribute to the organization's mission of supporting family farmers, along with Neil Young and John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews.

Margo Price said in a statement from Farm Aid:

“It is always a thrill to perform alongside my heroes on the Farm Aid stage, and it is one of the greatest honors of my life to become a member of the Farm Aid board.

It’s been a dream of mine to help family farmers and communities across America ever since my family lost their farm in the fall of 1984 — a year before the first Farm Aid concert. I hope to use my voice to shine light on the issues of climate change, our health and the health of our soil and water, and most importantly, food justice.” 

Annie Nelson said in a statement from Farm Aid:

“I am honored to join Willie and the other members on Farm Aid’s board of directors.

I’ve witnessed the incredible strength and resilience of America’s family farmers through my involvement in Farm Aid, and I am eager to continue to help our family farm system thrive through this new role."
