Cyclone fans can win big with 'Hilton South' all-session passes

The No. 3 Iowa State Cyclones have fans fired up for this year's basketball season. To stoke the fire, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and Iowa State University Athletics are giving basketball fans a chance to cheer on the Cyclones in Kansas City with the "Hilton South" Farm Strong® Challenge.

One grand prize winner will receive two all-session passes for the Conference Men's Basketball Tournament on March 11-15, a $900 hotel gift card, a $150 Cy's Locker Room gift card and Iowa State "Farm Strong" apparel.

Enter by answering five questions at IowaFarmBureau.com/FarmStrong about how farmers care for their animals, protect the environment and supply Iowans with high-quality, essential proteins. One entry is permitted per valid email address. A winner will be announced at Iowa State's last home game against BYU on March 4.

"When you watch these young men on the court, you see talent, teamwork and winning plays," says Brent Johnson, Iowa Farm Bureau president. "What's less visible is the countless hours of preparation, the hurdles they've faced and their commitment to self-improvement. That resilience embodies 'farm strong,' and this contest celebrates that grit."

All season long, Cyclone basketball fans visiting Hilton Coliseum can scan their seat's QR code to test their farm knowledge and win grocery gift cards, courtesy of the Farm Strong partnership.

Additionally, a portion of the sale of all Farm Strong merchandise and apparel benefits the Iowa Food Bank Association. To date, the Farm Strong initiative has raised more than $200,000 to feed hungry Iowans.
