Dear John,

Wisconsin has welcomed us with open arms and we've been selling tickets and collecting HOMEGROWN Village applications around the clock. There are a very limited number of tickets available on livenation.com – go get them! 

And now, some exciting festival news! 

We’re happy to announce that CMA and ACM Award winner Luke  Combs has been added to the Farm Aid 2019 lineup! Luke is a multi-platinum, No. 1 Country singer-songwriter from Asheville, NC. 

We couldn't be more excited for Luke to make his Farm Aid debut in Wisconsin this year.

Have you heard Luke Combs' critically-acclaimed songs? Make sure to check him – and all Farm Aid 2019 artists – out on our Spotify and Youtube mixtapes!

Farm Aid is once again teaming up with IfOnly to offer incredible items & experiences. One-of-a-kind options include:

• Watch your favorite artist (like John Mellencamp or Bonnie Raitt) from the photo pit, along with 2 VIP tickets;
• Get a backstage tour, photo pit access, and 2 VIP tickets;
• Eat lunch backstage with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and watch them perform from the photo pit;
• Merchandise signed by Willie Nelson;
• And more!

All funds raised support our mission to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America.

The people who grow our food deserve to make a fair living. But that's out of reach for the livestock and poultry farmers who work in an industry where the power of giant corporations leaves them trapped in a rigged marketplace, vulnerable to abusive business practices. On the Farm Aid hotline, we hear from many farmers and ranchers who are barely hanging on in this system. They work hard to grow our food, yet they struggle to feed their own families.

This summer, the USDA will release a rule aimed at protecting basic rights for livestock and poultry farmers that most of us take for granted – rights like the freedom of speech and the freedom to join together in association. We’re asking you to stand by farmers and let the USDA know you want strong safeguards to give farmers a fighting chance against corporate power.

Showing your support is easy. We're delivering a petition to the USDA this summer and we'd like you to add your name.

The countdown to Farm Aid 2019 is on!
