Farmer Max Yasgur was a lifelong resident of the area where Woodstock 69 was held in 1969. He owned 500 acres of land where he raised cows for his dairy. He agreed to lease part of his farm to the Woodstock promoters for the famed music festival. He thought 40,000 would show up. Half a million showed up! He never wavered in his opinion that the kids were mostly peaceful and he was glad he leased his farm. His fellow dairy farmers and local residents were not so happy. It ruined his life. This is the sad true story of the groovy farmer, Max Yasgur.
