What you need to know about the Luke Bryan concert in Eyota

Sep. 12—EYOTA, Minn. — On Luke Bryan's

final Farm Tour stop in Eyota,

the crowd will groove with their country on — hopefully without last year's whipping wind at the Gar-Lin Dairy Farm.

Country fans can roll their windows down in their welcome to the farm as traffic along U.S. Highway 14 and Minnesota Highway 42 is expected to be congested on Saturday, Sept. 23. While the concert starts at 6 p.m., parking along Highway 14 and roads surrounding the farm starts in the afternoon. Those roads, plus Interstate 90, will have traffic routes in place until around midnight, according to maps from the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office.

The Farm Tour represents a way for Bryan to honor farmers. Since 2015, the Farm Tour has partnered with Bayer to celebrate America's farmers and

promote access to health care and nutrition in rural communities.

The #HeresToTheFarmer campaign supports Bayer's slogan of "Health for All, Hunger for None." Bryan is kicking off his six-stop Farm Tour in Shelbyville, Kentucky, on Sept. 14.

"It's become my personal thing to really showcase at the shows and talk about it and spend the day really getting that hashtag out there and doing what we can to bet more meals donated," Bryan said on Monday.

Event parking starts at 1 p.m. along Highway 14, 40th Street Southeast and at Dover-Eyota Elementary School. The elementary school $20 spaces are first-come, first-serve and the

proceeds will benefit student travel.

The school asks people not to tailgate.

Parking passes are also available for $20 on the concert day.

The thousands of attendees can purchase outside shuttle service tickets with Rochester City Lines and Bernard Companies. Rochester City Lines includes shuttles from Rochester, Zumbrota, Pine Island, Oronoco, Dodge Center, Kasson, Byron, Preston, Fountain and Chatfield. The $35 fan bus tickets are available at

.

Bernard Companies includes a shuttle from Chatfield with 25 seats available. The $20 bus tickets can be reserved by calling 507-867-3410.

Following the concert, the Interstate 90 ramps to Highway 42 will close at 9 p.m. with anticipated re-opening at midnight.

While VIP tickets are sold out, general admission tickets can still be purchased online. Tickets are available on the

Big Tickets website.

Kismet Consignment and Rochester Pet and Country Store are also selling discounted tickets at their stores.
