Workers are at Miller Park in Milwaukee setting
up for Farm Aid.

Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews
will visit Miller Park Saturday for ``Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for
America.'' Other performers include Kenny Chesney, Jason Mraz,
Norah Jones, the BoDeans and Amos Lee.

Farm Aid began in 1985 as a way to raise money for struggling
family farmers. This year is the event's 25th anniversary.
Farm Aid has raised nearly $37 million to help keep family
farmers on their land.

The all-day festival is the longest-running benefit concert in
the U.S. It will also feature local and organic foods grown at
family farms.
