Why we checked itSpecific ranking claim about Iowa's farm foreclosure rate compared to other states — verifiable against USDA or court data
What we foundIowa was at or near the top of Midwest states for farm bankruptcies in 2025, and briefly led the nation in early-year filings, but full-year 2025 data show Arkansas (33 filings) and Georgia (27 filings) surpassed Iowa's 18 filings nationally.
