It is impossible to give you an answer online as to the likely outcome of a criminal case.  Your best bet would be to contact a local criminal defense attorney who could give you the answer.  Without knowing the judge; the district; Age; Prior record including probation/parole status and performance under probation or parole; Prior Deferments (maximum of 2 per lifetime); Employment circumstances including financial circumstances, job requirements; Family circumstances; Nature and circumstances of the offense; Other factors such as Mental health history, Drug/alcohol abuse history, health problems, transportation problems, education, defendant characteristics, and remorse; and Whether the offense which was pleaded to was a lesser included offense, it would be impossible to give an answer. The judge has discretion within the maximum and minimums for the offense.  The judge also does not have to honor the plea deal between you and the county attorney.  You can review the possible sentences at: https://spd.iowa.gov/defense-resources/sentencing-summary-chart
