Country music superstar Luke Bryan kicks off his Farm Tour 2019 run today (9/26) at the Statz Brothers Farm in Marshall, Wisconsin. This time around he’s taking along a few of his friends, including Cole Swindell, Mitchell Tenpenny, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock.
“Well, yeah, I mean the Farm Tour has grown throughout the years, and the fact that we can set a stage up in a hayfield or some kind of field and people flock to it is what I envisioned when I created Farm Tour, and to obviously help some kids with scholarships and stuff like that. But the Farm Tour has grown every year, and it’s always something we look forward to. It’s really an exciting time to be able to just be out on a farm on a Fall night. Sometimes it’s cool and everybody’s got, it’s perfect jacket weather and everybody’s just enjoying music and having fun, and it’s happening in these little towns that have never gotten a show like this. So, it’s always fun knowing that I leave these little towns, and they can go, ‘Hey, we got to go party out in a field and hear a bunch of Nashville country music singers roll in,’ and give ‘em a great show. So many great memories through the years,” Bryan shared via his label about the tour.
More than 100,000 fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. Luke will continue giving back to farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending local colleges or universities near the tour stops. To date, more than 60 scholarships have been granted.
Bayer is proud to continue their #HeresToTheFarmer campaign. For every hashtag share, Bayer will donate a meal to a hungry American through Feeding America. Over the past few years, close to 3 million meals have been donated and over $180,000 went to area food banks and local farmers in each of the tour cities.

“Here’s to the Farmer” Lyrics
Talk about an uphill battle
Two thousand acres of beans and cattle
But he don’t ever get rattled
He just goes ’til the sun goes down
Hydraulic fluid on his jeans
Red dye diesel and ten rows between
A cold one on the porch and a good nights of sleep
Y’all hold ’em up with me now
Here’s to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
That turn from green to that harvest honey
Hold one up for the banker downtown
That got him on his feet with handshake money
Here’s to the farmer’s wife
That loves him every night
Raising a son, raising a daughter
They gather ’round the table, send it up to the Father
Somehow they get closer when times get harder
Here’s to the farmer
Subdivision’s creeping on in
Neighborhood kids keep jumping his fence
He could double his money
But that’d be the end of a promise he’ll never break
‘Cause he looked his daddy in the eye
And he’s got that stubborn pride
He’ll be here ’til the day he dies
No, he wouldn’t have it any other way
Here’s to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
That turn from green to that harvest honey
Hold one up for the banker downtown
That got him on his feet with handshake money
Here’s to the farmer’s wife
That loves him every night
Raising a son, raising a daughter
They gather ’round the table, send it up to the Father
Somehow they get closer when times get harder
Here’s to the farmer
Yeah, here’s to the farmer that loves his day in the sun
Won’t sell that old half-ton
Nobody knows better ’bout a hard-earned dollar
Just tell him how far he’s gotta go and he’ll go further
Here’s to the farmer
Here’s to the farmer
Thank you, boys
