Under Economy > Industry and Commerce, the sentence

"The state is the nation's largest producer of sugar beets, sweet corn, and peas for processing, and farm-raised turkeys."

should be changed to

"The state is the nation's largest producer of sugar beets, sweet corn, peas for processing, and farm-raised turkeys."

@Aston305 It's time to lift the protection, as important information about the rampant fraud needs to be added. ~2025-35113-26 (talk) 18:40, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Not my job or my prerogative, sorry Aston305 (complain/compliment) 18:55, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to know why Wikipedia doesn't allow the information about the fraud to be included in this article ~2025-35113-26 (talk) 18:39, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

It's on the governor's article...Tim Walz#Feeding Our Future fraud. --Magnolia677 (talk) 19:01, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

There's an article about the major fraud case Feeding Our Future on Wikipedia, and if it feels appropriate to create a more general article concerning fraud in recent years, and reliable sourcing supports its existence, you might benefit from creating an account to start an article that Wikipedians can all collaborate on. This is not a current events page; it's for general encyclopedic information about the state, and this news item might fall victim to what we call recentism and not warrant inclusion in this specific location. ~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 19:55, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

So are you going to answer my question? Why doesn't Wikipedia allow the information about the fraud to be included in this article?

Information from this article shouldn't be banned just because some info is scattered around in other articles. ~2025-35113-26 (talk) 12:52, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

It isn't "banned" from this article and I don't know what gives you that impression.

But Minnesota has almost 168 years of history as a state. The fraud scandals are still ongoing events, and it is not yet clear the impact they will have on the state's history in the long term, so now isn't the time to cover them here. They are clearly having a major impact on the Walz administration, which is why they're covered in that article as well as the dedicated one linked above. --Sable232 (talk) 15:42, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Well, can I edit this article OR has anyone added the info yet?

No? Then how is it not banned information? ~2025-35113-26 (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Still waiting for your answer. ~2025-35113-26 (talk) 00:45, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

It's been added here. Beyond that, I suspect you don't know much about Wikipedia's processes and policies, and I think you're here simply to make a political point. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 02:49, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

I mention this subject here: Talk:Operation_Metro_Surge#Minneapolis_+_St._Paul. I believe this material on this subject should be added to the article. --David Tornheim (talk) 18:23, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

I agree, although it would be best added after the events are over and we are able to see how it affects Minnesota. 2mxujhyt (talk) 20:08, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

I agree it should be added. It should be added connecting to the previous historical events from 2020 and so on. I don't necessarily agree with @2mxujhyt, it can be added briefly and then amended as no one knows how long it is going to last. Josep a11 (talk) 08:40, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

The tax section is using numbers from almost 20 years ago.

I'll do my best to update it if nobody else will, but I've never made a Wikipedia edit before, so I'd really rather someone who knows what they're doing do it instead. Uufda651 (talk) 04:04, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Edit: okay so apparently I can't edit it. Someone with edit permissions, please fix this! I'll even go find you sources on the latest numbers. It's just so egregiously outdated! Uufda651 (talk) 04:12, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

do you have a source with newer figures? -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 15:31, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

 Done ive updated with newer sources. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 15:20, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
