Iowa's meatpacking claims fact checked by The Gazette
The Gazette evaluates three statements by Iowa Governor Reynolds on Fox News about meatpacking Covid response. It concludes Iowa produced about 7.4 percent of national agricultural cash receipts in 2019 and 7.6 percent in 2013, not the claimed 10 percent, and notes PPE and testing efforts varied with plant closures and recalls the pandemic's death toll among workers.
