For the second year, the Iowa Farm Bureau has donated $15,000 to Iowa State University’s (ISU) on-campus food bank, The S.H.O.P. (Students Helping Our Peers), through its “Tackle Tracker” initiative. 

For every ISU tackle during the college football regular season, Iowa Farm Bureau donated $25 (up to $15,000) to The S.H.O.P.
