“What is important about this promotion is that it allows us an opportunity to talk about the things we do. We build leaders. Our young people grow up on a farm. They learn about teamwork, citizenship and respect. It’s important to take that ANF logo and promote it and hopefully, it will rub off to others.”
Craig Lang, president, Iowa Farm Bureau
