Farmers Unite! Planting a Protest for Fair Prices

Grain prices dropped in the late 1970s, and in 1979, thousands of tractors from all over the US traveled to Washington DC to protest. Many gatherings were planned with lawmakers, but little was accomplished until the farmers' problems came to the attention of singer Willie Nelson who organized a popular Farm Aid concert. Legislation to help the farmers was finally enacted in 1987.

Farmers Unite is a book with clear text and helpful photos for young readers.
