Neil Young's Support for Family Farms at Farm Aid 2018 Performance

Venue: XFINITY Theatre Location: Hartford, Connecticut, United States Date: September 22, 2018

Before the 2018 Farm Aid live recording, Neil Young had just released "The Visitor" in December 2017, an album that highlights his ongoing commitment to social issues and environmental concerns. This was very much in line with his appeal at Farm Aid, where he passionately urged the crowd to support family farms—a cause he has championed throughout his career. Young's dedication to family farming goes beyond mere rhetoric; he’s actively involved in advocacy through his own initiatives, demonstrating his belief in sustainable agriculture. The Farm Aid concert itself underscored his long-standing involvement, as he was one of the co-founders of this event back in 1985. This performance wasn't just a concert; it was a powerful reminder of his roots and the ongoing fight for the hardworking farmers of America.
