Each year, for many Missourians, their summer culminates with corn dogs, concerts and carnival rides at the Missouri State Fair. Amid the COVID pandemic, the Missouri State Fair has transitioned to a statewide youth livestock show. Scheduled for August 13^th- 23^rd, this event will bring exhibitors from all corners of the state to Sedalia to compete.

With us today is Mark Wolfe, Director of the Missouri State Fair, along with Kari Mergen, Missouri State Fair Marketing Director. Be sure to tune in as we discuss the new format, fairgrounds improvements and more on this week’s episode of Stand for Ag.
