The Trump administration announced a $12 billion aid package to help U.S. farmers cope with economic losses caused by tariffs and market disruptions, with payments expected by the end of February. President Trump emphasized the relief as a way to share tariff revenue with farmers, expressing support for the agricultural sector. However, critics like John Boyd of the National Black Farmers Association argue that the aid largely benefits large-scale white farmers and excludes many Black farmers due to long-standing institutional barriers, mistrust, and reporting issues. Boyd, representing 150,000 Black farmers, noted that systemic discrimination has prevented many Black farmers from accessing the aid, raising concerns about equity and targeted support for marginalized farmers. Will this relief address the broader needs of all farmers?

As far as #BabyBoomer #RockStars go, I'd say #NeilYoung has done more than his share of charitable giving (including #FarmAid).

"Farm Aid was founded by Nelson, Young and Mellencamp to support family farmers, raising $85 million since 1985."
