Prvý festival Farm Aid sa na štadióne University of Illinois' Memorial Stadium dňa 22. septembra 1985, v meste Champaign (Illinois, USA). Jeho hlavnými organizátormi boli hudobníci: Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp a Neil Young. Ich cieľom bolo pomôcť americkým farmárom, ktorí boli pod tlakom hypotekárneho dlhu a hrozilo im, že by stratili svoje rodinné farmy.[1] Vystúpenie umelcov videlo 80-tisíc ľudí. Medzi účinkujúcimi boli okrem mnohých iných aj mená ako Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynnová, Roy Orbison a Tom Petty.[2] Výnos z koncertu pre farmárov bol 9 miliónov amerických dolárov.[3]
Pôvodne si Willie a ostatní zakladatelia akc mysleli, že by jeden koncert mal problém vyriešiť, no zistili, že výzvy, ktorým farmári čelia sú omnoho zložitejšie. ale priznávajú, že výzvy, ktorým čelia rodinní farmári, boli zložitejšie, než si ktokoľvek uvedomoval.[4] Výsledkom toho je, že aj desaťročia od prvej Farm Aid, sa akcia organizuje naďalej pod vedením Carolyn Mugarovej. Na koncertoch dominuje country, blues a rockovový hudobný žáner v podaní rôznych umelcov. Medzi jeho organizátormi sú naďalej Willie Nelson, Mellencamp, Young a Dave Matthews, ale aj David Anderson, Joel Katz, Lana Nelsonová, Mark Rothbaum a Evelyn Shriverová.[5] Dňa 8. apríla 2021 bolo oznámené, že sa k nim pripojila aj Annie Nelsonová a Margo Price.[6] Voé februári 2020 zomrel jeden z organizátorov a bubeník hrajúci v sprievodnej kapele Willie Nelsona, Paul English.[7]
Organizácia prevádzkuje núdzovú horúcu linku, ktorá ponúka farmárom zdroje a rady v problémoch, s ktorými sa stretávajú. Na začiatku Nelson a Mellencamp predviedli rodinných farmárov pred Kongres, aby svedčili o stave rodinného poľnohospodárstva v Amerike. Kongres následne schválil zákon o poľnohospodárskych úveroch z roku 1987, aby pomohol zachrániť rodinné farmy pred exekúciou. Farm Aid prevádzkuje aj fond pre prípad katastrof, ktorý má pomôcť poľnohospodárom, ktorí v dôsledku prírodných katastrof prídu o svoje veci a úrodu. Príkladom môže byť ich reakcia na obete hurikánu Katrina.[8] a na rozsiahle záplavy z roku 2019.[9] Získané finančné prostriedky sú použité na úhradu výdavkov farmára a na zabezpečenie potravinovej, právnej, finančnej pomoci a psychologickej pomoci.[10]
Koncert v roku 2005, pri príležitosti 20. výročia Farm Aid, sa konal v Tweeter Center v Tinley Parku v Illinois. Sprevádzali ho sesterské akcie napríklad aj v centre Chicaga. Koncert v roku 2007 sa konal na Randallovom ostrove v New Yorku (prvý festival Farm Aid v New Yorku) a bol zaznamenaný vo vysokom rozlíšení, ktorý bol potom ako dvojhodinový špeciál vysielaný na HDNet. V ročníku, ktorý sa konal v roku 2019 vystúpili: Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews a aj hviezda country music, Luke Combs.[11]
