Luke Bryan recently wrapped up the fourteenth installment of his Farm Tour. As always, the country superstar and a host of fellow musicians brought a large-scale concert experience to small towns. The special guests for this year’s Farm Tour included Kameron Marlowe, Chayce Beckham, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock.

Bryan started his Farm Tour initiative back in 2009. Since then, thousands of fans have enjoyed the unique concert experience. Each of the shows benefits a worthy cause: awarding college scholarships to students from farming families.

This year’s Farm Tour wrapped up on Friday night (September 22). The Saturday show was ultimately canceled due to inclement weather.
Bryan once again partnered with Bayer for this year’s Farm Tour. Their partnership began in 2015 with the “Here’s to the Farmer” initiative. According to a release, the campaign “celebrates America’s hard-working farmers for helping provide people in the U.S. and around the world access to critical health and nutrition.” After this year’s event, more than seven million meals have been donated.
This year, Bryan and the company added a new initiative to the docket, “Take Care, Now.” That campaign brings together Bryan, Bayer, and Kroger to help alleviate care deserts in rural America.
“It has allowed communities who don’t normally get a concert in their areas to experience a fun night in their backyard all while lifting up the American farmer,” Bryan once shared of the unique tour. “Small town and farming pretty much sum up my childhood. It is my way of life and I know it is a way of life for so many. It is truly the highlight of my year for me and my whole team.”
Earlier this month, Bryan celebrated 30 No. 1 singles. His first No. 1, “Do I,” came in 2009. His latest came in December 2022, “Country On.”
