Farmers-Oral Histories

The whole purpose of Farm-Aid was to help generate revenue for America’s farmers who had fallen on hard times during the early 1980s. However, the world of agriculture is a broad one that involves many different kinds of professionals, both farmers who work in the field, and those that distribute their products or serve them in other ways. A wide variety of these people either attended or were involved in Farm-Aid and their stories were well documented for this exhibit.

Interviews of farmers or farm adjacent professionals involved at Farm-Aid include:
• Darrell Boegue.
• Dave Smith.
• Jack Weaver.
• Debra Walker.
• Delora Siebrecht.
• Dennis Riggs.
