Takes a guy who sang about this same thing starting to happen thirty-five years ago- nobody listened then. I sure hope they do now- I have friends losing their farms right now- and when they're gone, so is a part of True America. Farms sold off, land turned into strip malls, fat greedy men in business suits living large, yeah, they tried this in the '20's too. Don't let it happen, youth of today!! Vote. Talk. Play music write songs share the mssg take it to the streets boycott!! God Bless Levon!

So beautiful, so tragic. There's a great (Oscar-winning) short film out there called "The Accountant" about the decay of American farming. Really worth checking out if it's a topic of interest to you.

Glad i got to work for 5 years now with Levon up here in Woodstock ...Mr Gill is a true farmer and an even better true gentleman....if anyone is able to make it to NY try to come up to Levons for a ramble if you can get tickets if not then try to make it up this way on Colombus day weekend every year he does a free show at Gill farms..its a show not to miss with a few special guests every year

I saw Levon last night In Vancouver. I think he may have had a bit of a cold but to be honest he could really barely sing. But ill be goddamned if he didnt give it every thing he had to get out what little he could. It was a little heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. And the concert was awesome.  At 70 years old it was obvious hes still having a great time up there. My son is a year old and when Ophelia comes on he gets so excited and jumps up and down. Makes me so proud.

This is real grass roots America right here. Support your local farmers and the markets. God Bless You Levon. You're one hell of a man.

Levon! A national treasure.

[PampersPete]

Goddamn! This song is so sad and beautiful at the same time...

I get choked up when I think what is happening back home in the Midwest.
