Luke Bryan's Farm Tour Feeds 11M
Country star's 17-year initiative awards 97 college scholarships and provides millions of meals to those in need with Bayer's support
Luke Bryan's Farm Tour, which began in 2009, has awarded 97 college scholarships and helped provide over 11 million meals to people in need. The tour, which completed its 17th year in September 2026, has become an annual effort to support farming families and give back to rural communities across the United States.
The Farm Tour has been presented by Bayer since 2015, and the company has played a significant role in the initiative's success. In 2026, Bayer pledged to donate up to one million meals through Feeding America as part of the campaign. Fans also contributed to the cause, donating nearly 20,000 pounds of food during the 2026 Farm Tour.
Luke Bryan, the son of a peanut farmer, started the Farm Tour to bring live country music to rural communities and support farming families. The initiative has grown into a long-running effort to recognize farming families and highlight their contribution to communities across the country.
The Farm Tour's support for education is a key aspect of the initiative. Since its beginning, Bryan has awarded 97 college scholarships to students from farming families. These scholarships are given to students attending colleges and universities near the communities where the tour stops.
## Why it matters The Farm Tour's impact extends beyond the music, with millions of meals provided to those in need and scholarships awarded to students from farming families. The initiative highlights the importance of supporting rural communities and recognizing the contributions of farming families to the country's food supply. As the tour continues to grow and evolve, its impact is likely to be felt for years to come.
The Farm Tour's success is a testament to the power of music and community coming together to make a difference. With Bayer's support and the contributions of fans, the initiative has been able to provide significant support to those in need. As Luke Bryan looks to the future, it's clear that the Farm Tour will remain an important part of his efforts to give back to rural communities and support farming families.
