As noted in our report last month, this year's Farm Aid concert in Raleigh, North Carolina was a wonderful day to be out with so many music, food and farm lovers.
The
day started with an early morning Press Conference of the Farm Aid
Board making their annual plea on behalf of the plight on the family
farm crisis they have been facing for decades.
Here is the full press conference featuring Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Margo Price, as well as, many farmers and farm supporters.
Normally, we would start our little review with a standard opening line of "this year's Farm Aid concert in Raleigh featured yet another great Neil Young performance".
But alas, no Neil this year -- although his spirit hovered about throughout the day.
Neil & Me ... not

Regardless -- even with Neil's very conspicuous absence -- we had a stellar day with our awesome FarmAidian friends and the other 20,000 or so music, food and farm lovers.
The Long FA Weekend Begins!
It was sort of weird to go to a Neil Young "concert event" like FA but without an actual Neil performance. Sort of like having a warm beer or something where a very key ingredient is missing.
All that said, it was a wonderful day to be out with so many music and farm lovers.
The day started with an early morning Press Conference of the Farm Aid Board making their annual plea on behalf of the plight on the family farm crisis they have been facing for decades.
Willie Nelson, Farmer, & John Mellencamp
During the Press Conference, Farm Aid announced plans for ‘A Major Farmer Mobilization in Washington’ in March 2023. Farm Aid will team with the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition for the biggest D.C. gathering of family farmers in decades.
Farm Aid Board Members Margo Price & Dave Matthews
In other major Farm Aid news, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay presented Farm Aid and John Mellencamp, with a $1 million check donation.
Farm Aid 2022 Concert - Raleigh, North Carolina
It was a beautiful day for a concert and Carolinians came out in force for Farm Aid.
Charley Crockett

Crockett was definitely a new breakout artist for us. Catch him if you
can for sure. Crockett's retro roots country set was about as REAL as
you can get.

Willie Nelson is a gift to humanity and just to be in his presence -- along with his sons Lukas & Micah -- is an act in restoring one's faith in humanity.
