Luke Bryan’s 15th Annual Farm Tour: Where Country Music Meets the Heart of America

Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour 2024—where country music meets farm life, celebrating America’s farmers.

Well folks,

Let me tell you all something mighty special coming up this month: the 15th Annual Farm Tour of Luke Bryan is gonna be rolling through town once again. I gotta say-this tour has heart and soul all wrapped up in those wide-open spaces we call home. Now I am not just talking about your typical concert tour; this is something quite different from that. Luke's been packin' up his gear, loadin' it onto trucks and takin' it straight to the fields where America's farmers sweat and toil, boy what a sight it's gonna be.

Farm Tour 2024 gets under way on September 19 in Grantville Pennsylvania at Bow Creek Farm and Cattle Co., then it's headin' through places like Chesapeake Virginia and Shelbyville Kentucky with stops in North Carolina Ohio and Pennsylvania. He has done this each year since 2009 and if you ask him why he'll tell you it is about giving back. He has publicly spoken many times about his small-town upbringing in Georgia being one thing to which he feels it is of utmost importance to be connected. As Luke himself has said "The beauty of Farm Tour is we're out there on the farm. We help people to feed America give out scholarships… when you got 20000 people in a field there ain't nothin' more special than that." It sounds like somethin' I'd say don't it.

And let me tell ya this ain't about country music; this is about supportin' the backbone of this great land: the farmers. Luke partners with companies like Bayer and Fendt that have through events raised money for scholarships and other entities such as Feeding America. In fact his campaign with Bayer titled "Here's to the Farmer" has helped provide over nine million meals for those in need. Luke also collaborates with Fendt on limited edition snacks including "Boldly Grown Popcorn" and "Boldly Grown Peanuts." A portion of the proceeds support the National FFA Organization which prepares young people for agricultural careers. Now that's what I call somethin' worth singin' 'bout.

And if y'all are wondering who's gonna join Luke out there on stage let me bring ya in. This year's tour is pulling some heavy hitters: Conner Smith Tucker Wetmore and the Peach Pickers-Dallas Davidson Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip. DJ Rock will be on site too keeping things interesting between the sets. These folks know how to stir up a crowd and they're set to make this year's Farm Tour one to remember.

But the really special part about this whole thing to me at least, is how it's continued to grow and grow with each passing year. To date Luke has handed out 83 scholarships to help kids from farm families go to local colleges. There aren't a lot of artists who can say they have done that. And there's the corn mazes-more than 30 farms in this country that'll just put up those Luke Bryan-themed corn mazes and have people just walk around and take pictures of themselves maybe learn something about Luke in the process. Yes sir this tour is not an event; it's an experience.

The Farm Tour concludes on September 28 at Cunningham Family Farm in Smithton Pennsylvania some place that has never seen a play. Luke's been real careful in picking new spots making sure each year feels fresh. And y'know that's what keeps folks comin' back year after year—it's not just about hearin' the hits it's about sharin' a piece of that down-home country life where the air's crisp and the land stretches wide.

So if y'all can make it out to one of these shows grab your boots bring a friend and join Luke out in the fields. It's gonna be somethin' to remember and heck you might even learn a thing or two 'bout them hard workin' folks keepin' this country fed.

Love to see ya out there.
