After a few barn-burner years, political crop art appears to be on the outs at the Minnesota State Fair. (See 2008 selections here and 2009 selections here.)

There was nary a rendering of U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann to be found in the Agriculture Horticulture building. Last year she popped up three times.

I left work quite early on Thursday and played hooky at the Minnesota State Fair.

I hit all the highlights, however crop art is my perennial favorite.
