剧情简介

Farm Aid returned to Tinley Park, Illinois for the third time on September 18. A press event launched the day, before 28,000 fans filled the amphitheatre. At the press event Farm Aid recounted 20 years of solid work and announced the release of Farm Aid: A Song for America. The book chronicles 20 years of the Farm Aid music that galvanized the grassroots movement for family farms and good food. Farmers and advocates also tallied Farm Aid's accomplishments, from direct aid to farmers in trouble, to fighting factory farms to building up the good food movement. Concert-goers brought donations of food for Katrina victims. The music on the Farm Aid stage rolled and rocked all day and a happy crowd broke all records purchasing Farm Aid merchandise. The concert concluded a full week of activities from Champaign to Chicago, with farm visits, music and chefs at Chicago's farmers markets, films at the Cultural Center, a tractor parade leading to the County Fair at the Garfield Conservatory, and over 20 restaurants offering their guests a "family farm" menu item.
