What is it? Is it actually a fundraiser? What does it do to help farmers? Is it just a simple sticker on a helmet? Is it affiliated with anything that has to do with agriculture? I see a lot of Iowa fans with the ANF label on everything from shirts to cars. I looked it up and didn't really get much of a solid answer. If anyone has any insight, it would be great to read.
ANF....

It's a simple marketing ploy, good idea by Fry to do it back in the day. But it does legitimately nothing towards agriculture. I think a small portion of profits go to donate food to food banks.
I just love the hypocrisy with hawkeye fans that promote ANF then call us aggies, moo u, etc.

I would love to see ISU throw an Actually Helping Farmers sticker on their helmets next year during the Iowa game.
I didn't know farmers were needed until I watched an Iowa game. Thank god they tell people that so I can keep my job.
You caught me. All of the 12 or so threads I've started in the last 8 years or so are just to add to my growing legacy on Cyclone Fanatic.
I agree. I think it's a good thing that we all now aware you like to waste the time of a bunch of electrons...
WRNL spoofed it and sold AHF (Actually Helping Farmers) shirts and donated all the profit to the ISU College of Agriculture.
So, in a roundabout way, ANF was responsible for that.

Fry started it during the farm crisis. its been around for 30 years and our fans havent had a problem with it until recently. not sure why. it gave the state national exposure during a very difficult period.
Because it HASN'T been around for the last 30 years. It came off the helmets around the time Ferentz took over and was only put back on the helmets recently. Didn't realize we were currently having a farm crisis - this is nothing other than a marketing ploy. And the biggest problem we have with it is Iowa fans singing the praises of "ANF" one minute and then mocking ISU as "Moo U" the next minute. In other words, we need farmers, but we're still going to treat them like **** when nobody is looking anyway...
Well said. Nothing but a marketing ploy the second go round. Like you said, it was gone for a while and recently brought back. I remember Scheels having ANF stuff all over the place.
