Chrisman FFA Wins Grand Prize for Inaugural Illinois Can-Do Challenge

The Can-Do Challenge was launched as part of Bayer’s #HerestotheFarmer campaign in partnership with five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan and the Farm Tour 2025. The contest challenged FFA members in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan to showcase their creativity and community spirit by designing and building innovative farm-themed structures made entirely from donated canned goods and non-perishable items.

Since 2015, Bayer’s partnership with Luke Bryan and the Farm Tour has provided more than 9 million meals to people in need through Feeding America® and supported local food banks and farmers. Illinois FFA is grateful to Bayer for extending this opportunity to Illinois FFA members and highlighting the impact of service and creativity in addressing hunger.

Chrisman FFA is extremely grateful for the opportunity as well as the support from friends and family all around.

The chapter will receive a $2,500 donation as well as the members receiving 50 tickets to see Luke Bryan in concert! We cannot say thank you enough to everyone who helped and supported this event. We collected over 3,000 items in total. We are grateful we have the ability to help our community!
