Longtime readers know that State Fair crop art is something we follow in our family: it’s the changing face of the Minnesota liberal as rendered in corn. Last year M. and I smiled grimly at Obama’s birth certificate depicted in millet (progress!). Two years ago the major theme was cleaning up after the circus (and hey, remember when this guy mattered?). This year’s star entry was snapped by Alena, one of my oldest and dearest friends, and reminds me of a saying that I just made up and wish fervently to be true: As crop art goes, so goes the nation. God willin’.
