Farmers’ Almanac TV is on location, shooting video at the Farm Aid concert in New Jersey. Here is the third post from the event.

The 2006 Farm Aid Concert just kicked off. Willie Nelson took to the stage with American Indians in ceremonial dress. He and Pauline Reese sang the first song together. Pauline and her band are on stage now tearing it up.

The crowd went wild when Willie came to the stage. A brief rain didn’t affect the crowd. In fact, people are standing two-deep in line to get through the entrance gate.

The Farmers’ Almanac TV crew is in a press bunker, called the Liquid Lounge — the liquids being organic teas and juices supplied by local farmers. We were given a box lunch filled with fresh, organic food also supplied by local farmers.

Mickey Youmans and Mike Jarema are in the Farm Yard, with farmers who have traveled from all over the country to take part in the 21st Farm Aid. They will share their stories with Mickey and crew, and the video will appear in our show.

More to come.
