Luke Bryan grew up working on his father’s farm, but his dad also owned a fertilizer company and a peanut mill.<\/p>\n
He talked about it in an interview on Apple Music Country.<\/p>\n
“In the fall, during harvest, we would work at the peanut mill. It was 15-hour days, breathing dust. It’s crazy because I was 24, 25 years old, and I remember physically feeling like I had been in a gang fight, [or] played a football game.\u00a0 That’s how hard we were working. It was 24\/7 and just working constantly during peanut season.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But he still found time to chase his dream.<\/p>\n
“But I was still gigging. I was still playing concerts Fridays and Saturday nights. I’d be in the damn peanut mill on a Thursday, and I’d have to go drive through the night and sing college shows with peanut dust all in my lungs. It was a wonder. I probably sounded pretty awful back then.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luke Bryan grew up working on his father’s farm, but his dad also owned a fertilizer company and a peanut mill.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":16248,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[3071,34,3785],"class_list":["post-19262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-farm","tag-luke-bryan","tag-peanut-mill"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-10 15:51:15","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2022\/04\/luke-byran-on-chasing-his-dreams-while-working-on-the-farm\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
