Thousands and thousands of fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. Luke continues to give 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, 83 college scholarships have been granted.

Continuing a partnership that began in 2015, Bayer will remain presenting sponsor this year and will team up with Luke for its annual Here's to the Farmer initiative benefitting Feeding America®. The campaign celebrates America's hard-working farmers for helping provide people in the U.S. and around the world access to critical nutrition. To support the initiative, fans should share #HeresToTheFarmer on their social media channels now through October 31, 2024. Through this program, more than nine million meals have been provided to people experiencing hunger through the Feeding America® network of food banks.*

Over the past two years, Luke joined Fendt, a Farm Tour sponsor, to create Luke Bryan's Boldy Grown Popcorn and Luke Bryan's Boldy Grown Peanuts. Each year when the limited-edition snacks sold out, Fendt donated to the National FFA Organization, the premier youth organization that prepares members for leadership and careers in the science, business, and technology of agriculture. Fendt donated $75,000 throughout the partnership.

Farm Tour 2024, sponsored by Bayer, Fendt, and Citi, will launch a week after Luke wraps his 30+ date "Mind Of A Country Boy Tour." Farm Tour 2024 tickets are available at LukeBryan.com.
