What's Farm Aid Doing to Help Farmers Now? | Caitlin Arnold Stephano of Farm Aid


Listen Later

In this episode, you meet Caitlin Arnold Stephano, Farm Aid's Hotline manager. She fields over 800 calls a year -- often 70 a month -- from farmers who want to talk about their struggles and find resources that can help.

In this episode, we explore the current day edition of Farm Aid, a still annual concert initiative founded by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews in 1985, which continues to raise funds and awareness for family farmers facing economic difficulties.

The episode features Caitlin Arnold Stephano, the manager of the Farm Aid hotline, where they discuss the types of calls received, the challenges faced by farmers, and the limited resources available for those in need. They also touch on mental health support, the Farm Aid concert, and the recent addition of a Spanish language hotline to make resources more accessible.

Talk Farm to Me is a part of the For Farmers Movement which provides grants annually to farmers facing challenges.
