While Farm Aid has always been focused on saving family farmers who are in distress, decades of corporate control and monopolization of the American food supply has forced the organization to also move toward helping restart the tradition of family farming and facilitating the good food movement. Obviously,\u00a0GMOs<\/a>\u00a0have become a major issue as a result. So when it came time for Young to speak at the press conference, the godfather of grunge didn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n

Speaking fresh on the heels of the\u00a0Bayer\/Monsanto merger<\/a>, Young spoke about the growing concern over corporate control over the food supply and the fact that this merger is a frightening new development in the corporate war on American agriculture. He also took aim at Barack Obama who has\u00a0supported, facilitated, and pushed corporate control<\/a>\u00a0since the day he took office.<\/p>\n

Young stated<\/a>:<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

We have just begun. This is a revolution. And we will look back on this one way or the other in ten or fifteen years and see what folks like this are doing. We recently have seen giant corporations that are selling for billions and billions of dollars that are joining together and we heard just a few minutes ago about how somebody was eating bad food and got sick and had to take a lot of drugs and now they are eating good food and are starting to not take so many drugs. And you have to notice that one of the biggest drug companies on the planet and one the largest pesticide providers on the planet, Monsanto and Bayer, have just joined together.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
