Neil Young - Homegrown (Live at Farm Aid 1986)

Neil Young performs "Homegrown" at Farm Aid II in Austin, Texas on July 4, 1986.

Neil Young is a co-founder and board member of Farm Aid, along with Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and in 1985 planned the first Farm Aid concert for American farmers. The following year, Farm Aid II was held on July 4 with performances by Alabama, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Julio Iglesias, Waylon Jennings, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many more.

Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

it is about weed, always was, but when Willie Nelson asked him he helped w/Farm Aid and it took on another meaning. Neil said in a 1999 concert that it still meant the original thing, though.
