At 25:32, the ketchup bottle has ketchup almost all the way up the bottle. At 25:39, the bottle is less than half full.
Mr. Wrench asks Bruce Gold why there's no library in town, but in the pilot Lester's prospective customer states that he works at the library. However, the young man did not say at which library he worked so it's possible he worked at the county library in a nearby town. Additionally, in the season finale, he is to have a new job at an auto dealership, so it's possible he was laid off before the events of this episode. (In actuality, Bemidji does have a public library.)
At Vern Thurman's graveside and at the wake, Officers Solverson and Oswalt surely would have honored the tradition of wearing a black band over their shields, a long-standing expression of mourning for a fallen officer. Perhaps this was artistic license, but it appears to be an oversight.

When Molly is standing in the cemetery at Vern's grave, in the establishing shot there is a gravestone in the size, shape, and granite type of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the organization that places gravestones for British Commonwealth veterans and war dead. Given that the cemetery is in a cold climate and there is a Commonwealth gravestone, it's clear the cemetery is in Canada, not the United States.
Minnesota *is* in a cold climate. Since the Filming Locations and the closing credits both say Fargo (2014) was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, pointing it out isn't really a Goof.

Stavros Milos (Oliver Platt) calls himself "La mercado rey" but the correct translation of "The market king" would be "El rey del mercado" in Spanish.
