This album got him started with Farm Aid. God Bless John....

[@benshafer5198]

Mellencamp wrote this track the same year the first Farm Aid was held (1985) in Champaign, IL. It was a fundraiser as a response to the plight of farmer's at the time, to help raise money for struggling farmers to help with mortgages and other expenses, and has been an annual concert fundraiser ever since. Was lucky enough to attend the premier show in '85, which had an amazing lineup. Mellencamp, Dylan, Petty, Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Johnny Cash, Fogerty, Henley, Foreigner, Hagar, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Lou Reed and Eddie VH to name only a few. That show alone raised over 9M for family farms. Mellencamp, Dylan, Nelson and others founded the organization

I worked at a hotel in Champaign -Urbana during that first farm aid concert. I was reservation manager trying to book rooms for Daryl Hall and others. Late night a bus pulled up and the bell boys were all busy. I stood at the bottom of the bus steps as Johnny Cash handed me his guitar case. I was awestruck. Then his beautiful daughter Roseanne Cash came down the stairs. I was not that upset I didn't get to use my free concert ticket. Had to work. And yes, it did rain a lot. Similar stories with the Chicago Bears who stayed at our hotel for practice pre Super Bowl win.

[@notintohandles]

That's pure socialism. Congrats.

[@teresamcmeans566]

I was married to a farmer for 17 years. We had two years in a row that were bad. We almost lost everything. We contacted Farm Aid only to be told they didn’t help by giving actual donations to farmers in need. We struggled until the next year’s crops came in. Luckily, we had a better year and were able to save our farm.

[@jayflowers4531]

I'm a metal head from the 80's, but when this song came on the radio or MTV, I teared up. In the Wizard of Oz, the scarecrow had "no brain." That is how our government treats the American farmer.

It effects all of us in this country. Love & light to all of those whom work & live in this incredible lifestyle.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

John Mellencamp was a big supporter of farmers and helped create the FarmAid benefit concerts (inspired by Live Aid) which was organized by John, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson to raise money to help the farmers who were losing their farms at an alarming rate in the eighties! These concerts still exists! That crisis really affected John’s family and friends in rural Indiana, where he is from!❤❤

[@mycrazyoutdoorlife3915]

In the late 80’s when this song came out, I was living in rural Iowa, and there were crosses on the courthouse lawn to signify a farm lost to foreclosure due to government intervention and grain embargo’s. 😥

I'm about the same age as Melloncamp, and spent much of my youth in Southern Indiana, about 40 miles South of his hometown- this song was a response to the farm crisis of the early 80's - lot of foreclosures.. bought up buy farming corporations. I could explain much about the farm industries problems, much of it self-inflicted, if you like; but very little about solutions.

[@scpomegaprime5081]

So glad that your channel finally got around to this song, I was a teenager when it was released and there was a ton of issues facing farmers at that time. JCM was at the forefront of bringing a message to mainstream media and largely used MTV to bring that message to the public. It goes without saying that he was strongly supported by his peers in the music industry.

[@vaughnselvey2658]

Brad! John is from Indiana (Small Town) and I grew up here too. He was and is singing songs about our community. If you look at that jacket he is wearing it is blue corduroy with a big FFA (Future Farmers of America) patch on the back. So the way farming works (at a very high level) is that loans are taken out early in the season, then repaid after the crops are harvested. The money that you make is all based on supply and demand, and are at the whims of weather, equipment, how other people did (if everyone has a big crop year with corn for example, the price goes down and they dont make as much). Farmers are under represented in DC, and laws are manipulated by big corporations and factory farming. Farm Aid, which he started, worked to give Farmers representation.

The agriculture crisis in the 80's was nearly identical to the great depression. Interest rates went over 20%. Farm production when good forced prices on their products to drop, except for the droughts in '83 and '88. Then, from prices dropping and the droughts, the farmers couldn't afford to make payments. In 1983, Iowa alone had near 500 farms auctioned each month. Causing local banks to shut down, and so everything was just lost. By the end of the 80's...near 300,000 family farms defaulted on their loans and were lost.

[@efetherman]

The Auction was the hardest thing in the universe, none of my Infantry training compared to watching people buy our lives for pennies on a dollar. Was the 1970's

[@drew2ist]

my family had 600 acres and rented another 600 acres in rural Illinois. It's almost all gone now- the equipment was sold at auction and the 600 acres is now 19. Big corporations are the farmers now.

[@inspectorvol951]

I grew up on a small farm. Dad worked public jobs during the day and farmed in the evening and at night. The rest of us fed the hogs, worked the garden, chop cotton, pick cotton, gather corn by hand. There is very little margin for error and always has been that way. At this point in time farming is a tax write off or you have farm 1,000’s of acres. Even then it’s gambling.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

I spent a lot of time in the grain belt in the 80s as a musician and I remember talkin to a farmer who used to come into the bar where I was working and cry in his beer every night. We got talking about how he might lose his farm etc. and I asked what might happen, worst case scenario. He said he might have to sell the farm. I asked what he might clear after paying everything that he had to pay, taxes etc. and he said about $5 million. There was a long pause... "Five Million dollars?" "Yea" "Five million dollars in your pocket?" "Well yea but it belonged to my daddy his daddy before him.. an.. legacy.. and" "You're telling me your father gave you something you can... worst can scenario, sell for Five Million Dollars and walk away?" "Well yea but the legacy..... bla bla bla....." I just sat there thinking about the ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS I got for graduation before I went out looking for work. Now, I KNOW that his story isn't typical and that a lot of farmers really did lose everything but I had a real hard time working up any real pity for the guy after that. He gets more money that most people make in their entire lives to just walk away, and that was five million 1982 dollars, when you could buy a very nice house in most of the country for under 100k. How many of the folks watching this video were just given $5 million?
