Willie Nelson Says FarmAid Proceeds Feed Hungry Farmers
Willie Nelson announced the first FarmAid proceeds will fund food programs for hungry farm families rather than lobbying. He wrote a $190,000 check to the National Council of Churches for food pantries, and planned a $25,000 personal gift to the League of Rural Voters before changing due to its lobbying work. He will donate $11,700 from his own funds to aid travel to Washington, while stressing FarmAid money is not for lobbying.
