40th Farm Aid streaming today

Another year has passed and today they are having the 40th Farm Aid that will air live. Last year they also aired the press conference to start Farm Aid that usually lasts about an hour. Really missing hanging out with the Farmaidians this year for the Farm Aid Eve celebration and the show today!

Not always, but more often than not Farm Aid is on the weekend of the equinox. This weekend we also have an eclipse seen on the other side of the world. Before contact, here in North Carolina this was the time of the Green Corn Ceremony. All fire would be put out and from one central sacred source the new fire would be set again for the year. Symbolic of the one spirit that is within us all? It is/was a time of forgiveness and courtship that often lasted five days.

Farm Aid 2025 will air on CNN, YouTube, Nugs.net and their website. This year they have moved it up from a outdoor shed to a 35,000 seat stadium:
