The return to Wisconsin, often referred to as "America's Dairyland," is also to raise awareness of the state's dairy farm crisis. The organization says the economic climate is similar to the one that sparked the first Farm Aid concert in 1985.
"With devastating weather, low prices and harmful farm and trade policies, America's family farmers are facing immense challenges to hold on to their farms. It's not right … family farmers are essential for all of us," Farm Aid President and Founder Willie Nelson said. "By bringing our festival to the heart of the struggle, we will stand side by side with farmers. At Farm Aid 2019, we'll highlight solutions and show our support for family farmers' contributions to our health, economy and environment."
This marks the second time the festival will be held in Wisconsin. Back in 2010, Farm Aid held its 25th anniversary event at Miller Park.
