(SPRINGFIELD) The Bayer Chemical Company and country musician Luke Bryan are teaming up with Illinois FFA chapters for the Can-Do Challenge. Statewide FFA chapters are encouraged to collect canned goods and/or non-perishable food, then build a farm-themed structure and post a photo of the creation on their chapter’s Instagram by the deadline of September 5th, 2025. As the food collected will be donated to local food pantries, the prizes include $2,500 to the winning FFA chapter, plus a chance to win tickets with a “Meet and Greet” with Luke Bryan while on his 2025 Farm Tour. Among his Midwest stops next month is an Illinois stop on September 19th at the Berning Family Farms near McHenry located northwest of Chicago. For details about the “Here’s To The Farmer Campaign in Support of Feeding America” and the “FFA Challenge” visit the bayer.com/en/us/farmtour website.
