I can only assume Mr. Bell's reaction to this article looks something like this
Nice work insulting the hard-working farmers of Iowa, you ignorant ****.
I always saw a ton of irony in how much my Iowa Hawkeye loving step-family that were farmer spawn, relied on and still rely on Iowa State Extension in their county, would go to Ames a few times a year for various meetings, yet would bad mouth the Clones.
The hard knock truth is, what they care about is Iowa football, and by association other Hawkeye sports.
They have a lot of respect for Iowa State University, but somehow don't connect the dots when it comes to sports.

The **** that comes out of the mouths of those hokeye coaches. JFC
I also thought this was satire or exaggerated or misconstrued. Wow.
I can think of dozens of farmers I know with ISU degrees. The recruiter is probably right on one thing, there's not a farmer with an Ag degree from Iowa.
I actually have a good friend who's one. Not an ag degree, but an Iowa degree.
He's from the Iowa City area, and decided part way through going to Iowa that he wanted to get involved with the family farm (his dad has an Ag Business degree from ISU, FYI). He finished his business degree at Iowa and now is part of the family operation.
It's pretty damn rare though.
I get mocking Iowa over the ANF, but does anyone in the ag community call out Farm Bureau for this marketing grab? It's not like Iowa is shelling out $ for this campaign, IFB is throwing them big checks to place the logo. I can't imagine farmers are pleased that their IFB dollars are being spent on this campaign when this is their mindset about farmers.
Did not read this thread but do remember when Hayden Fry pulled that one back in the early 80's with ANF on the Hawk helmets.
No f****** sh**. We would loose all positive momentum we could get from it. He would garble this up so bad it would end up being about Nebraska basketball or something .
When I left FB, mostly due to price, I told my agent and someone at the state level that the ANF campaign was a large reason why I was leaving. I don't think it got anywhere, but if enough people leave and tell them this is the reason why I think it could do some good.
Initially the state-level person was dumbfounded that a farmer would take issue with the ANF campaign, but after talking through it with her she understood my issue with it.
I have in the past. The come back with some BS line of we give to ISU also. Problem is they have zero signage or showing at ISU games. I have also told them I wont be a member until they stop the ANF thing. I know others have gave them backlash about it and they don't care. They are happy with Iowa using them to push the Iowa product.
Interesting. Don't forget about the Farmstrong/Flexstrong campaign at ISU events
You mean that piss poor campaign they started after ISU supporters gave them hell about ANF. Farmstrong isn't an ISU only thing either, not sure about the flexing thing.
It's just too bad the university of Iowa thinks so little of hard working farmers.
The Farm Bureau is a joke and has been for a long time. They are more concerned about funding themselves more than anything. I don’t know anyone that is still a member to Farm Bureau.
