It's a midterm election year, and candidates and their campaigns are all over the fairgrounds looking for votes. We surveyed the scene with political journalists Peter Cox and Laura McCallum. For 50 years, a State Fair coffee shop has used the fair to advocate for farmers. We met a lifelong farmer with the Minnesota Farmer's Union.

And we heard a couple tunes from Twin Cities folk duo the Cactus Blossoms.","meta_description":"Minnesota Now broadcast live from the MPR Stage at the corner of Judson and Nelson with a full hour of political news, fair food, farming and live, local…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3540,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/minnesota-now-4397657/episodes/minnesota-now-sept-3-2026/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/minnesota-now-4397657/minnesota-now-sept-3-2026.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
