The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation reiterated its support for Republican Sen. Joni Ernst on Sunday after an anonymous Twitter account said otherwise. A fake email distributed late last week on Twitter said the Iowa Farm Bureau had withdrawn its support for Ernst due to “developments” at Thursday’s third and final senatorial debate when Ernst gave the wrong breakeven price for soybeans, one of the state’s biggest agricultural exports. “Recently, a fake email has been circulating through social media that Senator Ernst no longer has the support of Iowa Farm Bureau or our members,” the bureau said in a statement. The Iowa Farm Bureau is one of several key agricultural groups in the state that back Ernst. Both the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and the Iowa Corn Growers also support the senator, making her the only candidate endorsed by all three organizations.
