PRINTFarm Aid Blog Post #3
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.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
