Luke Bryan kicks off his 2019 "Farm Tour" tonight (9/26) in Marshal Wisconsin at the Statz Brothers Farm and it runs through four more major farms through October 4.

It's a tour Luke has been doing to raise money for the American farmers for several years now. He says, "The Farm Tour has grown throughout the years, and the fact that we can set a stage up in a hayfield or some kind of field and people flock to it is what I envisioned when I created Farm Tour, and to obviously help some kids with scholarships and stuff like that. But the Farm Tour has grown every year, and it’s always something we look forward to. It’s really an exciting time to be able to just be out on a farm on a Fall night."

He continued, "Sometimes it’s cool and it’s perfect jacket weather and everybody’s just enjoying music and having fun, and it’s happening in these little towns that have never gotten a show like this. So, it’s always fun knowing that I leave these little towns, and they can go, ‘Hey, we got to go party out in a field and hear a bunch of Nashville country music singers roll in,’ and give ‘em a great show. So many great memories through the years.”

Bryan posted to Instagram earlier today, "Wisconsin, Michigan & Ohio - we’re coming for ya. Use #HEREStotheFARMER at #FarmTour2019 to help @bayerUS feed hungry families."
