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 eight 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 is sponsored by Bayer, Fendt, and Citi.

About Conner Smith
Just 23 years old and already a seasoned veteran of Nashville’s elite songwriting community, Conner Smith has emerged as one of Country’s most hotly-anticipated artists – one knows the past can still inspire the present, and good things come to those who wait. An uncommon talent mixing prime-of-life passion with old-soul perspective, the rising singer/songwriter has spent 15 years matching a honeyed vocal to propulsive hints of bluegrass and the warmth of ‘90s Country, an instant-classic sound infused with riveting modern appeal. Moving Country forward while remembering its all-natural roots, Smith’s critically-acclaimed full-length debut album SMOKY MOUNTAINS (The Valory Music Co.) is meant to stand the test of time. Featuring GOLD-certified “Take It Slow,” viral hit “I Hate Alabama,” multi-week UK chart-topper “Creek Will Rise” and new single “Roulette On The Heart” featuring Hailey Whitters, his deeply personal 12-song project is one of classic style and contemporary spirit, and a reflection of the artist himself. These songs, among others, laid an artistic foundation that earned Smith Artist to Watch status from Spotify, Amazon Music and Opry NextStage, while also making him the only Country artist on Pandora’s Ten List 2022 and secured 2023 recognition from MusicRow Next Big Thing and CMT Listen Up as well as joining the CRS New Faces Class of 2024. These milestones led Smith to earn his first-ever ACM Awards nomination for New Male Artist of the Year ahead of the 59th Annual show streaming live Thursday, May 16 at 8:00P ET/7:00P CT/5:00P PT on Prime Video. Deemed “an unstoppable force to be reckoned with” by CMT, Smith’s authentic storytelling and rich, soulful voice has resonated with audiences nationwide, earning him a dedicated and passionate following. Recently touring alongside some of Country’s biggest artists including Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Chase Rice and Jordan Davis, plus wrapping his own headline CREEK WILL RISE TOUR, the “future entertainer of the year” (Morning Hangover) brings his signature “high energy fan forward show” (All Country News) to fairs and festivals this summer.

About Tucker Wetmore
Singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore knows his way around a Country song. His own life has unfolded like one, from his small-town childhood to his time playing college football. When an injury ended his hopes of a professional career, he headed back home to Kalama, WA and dusted off his guitar. Less than a year later, he moved to Nashville to begin chasing down his own version of the American Dream, sharpening his writing skills and crafting a unique Country sound. “We’ve got a little bit of love, heartbreak and everything in between,” Tucker says of his songs, which blend his baritone vocals with singalong hooks, infectious charisma and roll-up-your-sleeves determination. A star athlete since childhood, Tucker first learned about perseverance on the field. He excelled at a myriad of sports, but it was music that provided a source of comfort and clarity throughout the journey. The self-taught musician started playing piano at age 11 as a way to cope, and it’s been his therapy ever since. Amassing over 1M followers and tens of millions of views online, Tucker’s dedicated fanbase eagerly anticipates his every move. He’s already notched back-to-back spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 with his debut singles “Wine Into Whiskey” and Wind Up Missin’ You” as he clocks in an impressive 100 million streams in two months. From the football field to the stage, he’s always brought dedication and drive to his work… and these days, that work is sounding like a singer-songwriter on the brink of putting himself on the map.
About The Peach Pickers
With more than 80 Number One songs among the hit-making trio, the Peach Pickers (Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip) are country music’s most sought-after writing teams. They have each captured multiple songwriting awards from ASCAP, BMI, NSAI, Country Music Association (CMA) and the Academy of Country Music (ACM). The songwriting collaborations of the Peach Pickers have yielded dozens of #1 singles, including many recorded by fellow Georgian, Luke Bryan. The Peach Pickers have songwriting credits on the Bryan hits “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” “I Don’t Want This Night to End,” “Play It Again,” “Rain Is a Good Thing,” and “That’s My Kind of Night.” Akins, Davidson, and Hayslip have also written hits for other artists, including “All About Tonight” (Blake Shelton); “All Over Me” (Josh Turner); “Gimme That Girl” (Joe Nichols); and “Put a Girl in It” (Brooks & Dunn), as well as songs recorded by Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, Billy Currington, Brantley Gilbert, Lady Antebellum, Dustin Lynch, Reba McEntire, Justin Moore, Thomas Rhett, and Chris Young.
