Willie Nelson and his farm aid board of directors (John Cougar Mellencamp, Neil Young, and Dave Matthews) sent an open letter to Congress asking them to give $1 billion of the $700 billion bailout package to farmers.
The letter points out how farmers are the "first rung" on the economic ladder...so if we help farmers, we're certainly going to help the economy.
He has a good point! What kind of farming is he referring to?
