'Special Report' - On Site @ Farm Aid 2018 From Hartford

Did you go to Farm Aid up in Hartford last month - or did you want to? 

And would you like to do more to keep your family healthy while helping the very folks who grow and raise your food??

Connecticut just hosted its first Farm Aid, and host John Voket and the Award-winning For the People were invited on site for the duration, covering the event from top to bottom. 

Each year, Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young and Dave Matthews - who we'll hear from later - host Farm Aid with one mission: keeping family farmers on the land. Since 1985, Farm Aid raised more than $53 million to help family farmers thrive while inspiring millions to be part in the Good Food Movement. 

So today we're bringing you the first and second segments of a three-part For the People straight from the Xfinity Theatre, where we talked with farmers, organizers, and artists, as well as attending an informative and inspiring pre-show press conference. So we'll kick things off from that press conference with some brief remarks from Farm Aid's senior board member and co-founder.
