Willie Nelson has been busy signing some very helpful and meaningful checks. Just in case you don’t know, Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp back in 1985. They recognized a need to raise money to help farmers across the country, and as Farm Aid’s website explains, the event has been going strong ever since: “Since 1985, the annual Farm Aid festival has celebrated family farmers, good food and incredible music. But Farm Aid works every day to support our nation’s family farmers and ranchers who are growing the good food for healthy families, strengthening our communities and protecting soil and water. Farm Aid needs your help so we can continue to provide the support they need – now more than ever.” In 40 years that have followed, Farm Aid has raised more than $85 million to help farmers all across the country stay in business and expand their reach. And on that note, this past year was Farm Aid’s 40th Anniversary, and the event that rotates around to different locations every year (2025’s Farm Aid was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota) was able to raise enough money to distribute more than $1.3 million in grant funding. Farm Aid shared a photo of the “Red Headed Stranger” signing 2025 grant checks back on December 8. Those checks will go to further help small farms and other, regional food organizations. Four key issues were focused on this year in terms of grant funding: supporting farmers experiencing crisis and stress, racial equity, farming solutions to climate change, and stopping the growth of corporate farming and industrial agriculture. Willie Nelson says these grants are going to the portions of the farming industry that need them most, and can do the most to keep farming alive and well: “These organizations are the heart of the farm movement, with farmers at the center of their work and leadership. We are so proud and lucky to stand with them. Like Farm Aid, many of these folks have been working since the 1980s, and they continue to be crucial sources of strength for farmers and rural communities. This is especially important as farmers once again face trying times.” According to Farm Aid, the annual grants were spread out to over 106 family farm, rural response and urban agriculture organizations. They’ve also said more than $190,000 will makes its way to things like founder making programs. All in all, they are doing great work to keep the dream of small and regional farming alive, and much of it is made possible through the annual Farm Aid event that Willie Nelson founded over 40 years ago. Willie was all smiles as he got to signing all of the checks that will undoubtedly make an impact: “We’re working to build a thriving family farm-centered system of agriculture. One way we do this is by funding organizations serving family farms. We are proud to announce that Farm Aid’s 2025 grant making total comes to more than $1.3 million, which includes over $1 million to family farm, rural response and urban agriculture organizations who are our critical partners in the movement to keep family farmers on the land, producing good food for all!” View this post on Instagram The post Willie Nelson & Farm Aid Cut A Check For Over $1.3 Million In Grant Funding To Help Family Farms first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
