This song may have been written in 1985, but its motifs are still valid today. In Canada I see the crucifixion of the scarecrow and family farm on a daily basis. God bless all those who work on the land.

we can thank the G'ment for Serfdom. Regs fees taxes and fines have killed the farmer. Oh and G'ment subsidies. I know, My uncle sold his for the g'ment dole. There will be more blood on the plough if cap and tax is approved.

The backing sounds extremely like Bruce Springsteen 'Cover Me'. Such a great song, with fantastic lyrics.

Hi, if you enjoy "Rain on the Scarecrow" by John Mellencamp then you are probably going to like Will Black – a Canadian rock singer. Please check out the rockin’ title track “Dancing With The Dead” off his premier album. Thanks for listening! Peace ;) http://www.last.fm/music/Will+Black/_/Dancing+With+The+Dead

John has so many amazing MESSAGE songs, such as this, yet he's always remembered for his "Jack and Diane"... I really FEEL for him, as he deserves SO MUCH MORE recognition as one of America's finest songwriters!

Whenever I hear this, I get so pissed, because it is so true and so sad. Living where I do, it happens every Summer, and going to Farm Auctions where someone has to sell EVERTHING they own, is so tragic. Let the corn and wheat feed ALL the Nations, stop taking it away!! Grrr (government)
