The 7th annual Luke Bryan Farm Tour, sponsored by Bayer, kicks off this week with his first concert in Ft. Wayne, Indiana at M&J Farms tomorrow.

Bryan, the son of a peanut farmer from Georgia, launched the tour in 2009 as a way to highlight and celebrate the contribution farmers make to improving lives.

“Farmers enrich our bodies and lives and musicians like Luke Bryan enrich our souls,” said Ray Kerins, head of communications, government relations and policy for Bayer. “For eight nights this harvest season, we’ll join Luke to kick up a little dust in farming communities across the U.S. to give our thanks to those in agriculture who dedicate their lives to making everyone’s better. Farming is a 24/7 job so we’re excited to help give them a few hours of fun with one of today’s top stars.”
