Nelson, a native Texan, announced the grants Thursday. They
include $7,500 each to the Lutheran Social Services of the South,
the Southern Mutual Help Association, the Louisiana Interchurch
Conference and the Federation of Southern Cooperatives.
Somerville-based Farm Aid says more money will be distributed as
the extent of the hurricane damage becomes clearer.
Farm Aid, the nation's longest-running benefit concert, has
raised more than $30 million since its first show in 1985.
The concert will be held in New England for the first time on
Sept. 20.
