Willie Nelson Lost His Ranch. Then the Farmers Stepped In.

The IRS takes everything from Willie Nelson. He owes $16.7 million. His bank accounts are frozen. His ranch is padlocked. It goes to auction. Two days pass. Nobody bids. On the third day, one buyer finally appears. Just $203,840. The minimum. But the buyer isn't buying it for himself. He represents a group of farmers Willie had spent years helping through Farm Aid. They buy the ranch to keep it from being lost forever. Months later, it's Willie's again. "Everyone came to my defense," Willie says, "and that was overwhelming." Years earlier, Willie had helped save their farms. The farms he saved ended up saving him.
