Claimant: Josh Turek (D)
Claim: “We lead the nation in farm foreclosures now here in Iowa.”
Rating: MOSTLY FALSE
Explanation: National farm foreclosure data are not publicly available, and Turek’s campaign cited Chapter 12 farm bankruptcy filings instead. Iowa recorded 18 such filings in 2025, ranking third behind Arkansas and Georgia, and bankruptcies are not the same as foreclosures.
