Country music entertainer Luke Bryan will once again honor the American farmer this fall as his tenth annual Farm Tour is set to run September 27th through October 6th. The Georgia native will take the six-city tour from Ohio to Florida setting up stages in the fields of local farmers across those states. Over 100,000 fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. The country star will continue giving back to the farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. To date, more than 50 scholarships have been granted.
Tickets for the “Bayer Presents Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2018” go on sale to the public on June 6th at 10AM local time here.
“I can’t believe we’ve been doing this 10 years!” Bryan shared in a statement. “Our goal was to bring big-city production concerts into these small towns across the U.S. giving those communities the opportunity to attend shows that would never come their way.”

“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
