Cy-Hawk Week may divide the state, but Farm Strong values (like hard work and determination) bring us together.

To celebrate, we’re giving away two prize packages:

🔴 An ISU Farm Strong t-shirt and a football autographed by Coach Jimmy Rogers
⚫ An America Needs Farmers t-shirt and a football signed by Coach Kirk Ferentz

To enter, tell us (in the comments below) one Farm Strong value you share with fellow Iowans 𝙖𝙣𝙙 whether you’re a Hawkeye fan or a Cyclone fan.

On Friday, September 11, we’ll draw one lucky Cyclone fan and one lucky Hawkeye (from the comments we receive on Facebook and Instagram) as our two winners.

⚠️ Note: Please beware of scammers. We will never ask you to submit credit card info to claim this free prize. We will announce the drawn winners via this post, using Iowa Farm Bureau's verified (blue checkmark badge) page (and the account on Instagram) on September 11 – not sooner. If a scammer replies to your post, please block and report them.
