POP/ROCK - Sept. 4, 1989

Country singer Willie Nelson says his organization Farm Aid will present concerts next year and will continue to exist until U.S. farmers are guaranteed specific protection. “I’m in for the duration,” Nelson said Saturday. The fourth Farm Aid fund-raising concert will be in the spring, he said, “early enough to get the money out before spring planting.” Another concert “to invite our political friends” will be held in Washington in late March, about two weeks before Farm Aid IV, Nelson said. Nelson said his associates are looking throughout “the heartland” for a site for the Farm Aid IV concert.
