Funding provided to preserve cultural heritage of Black farmers, and money appropriated.

HF 113 appropriates $1.363 million for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund the Minnesota Black Farmers Association. The money will support three specific farms - Mahogany Farm in Mora, Frog Tree Farm in Verndale, and 40 Acre Co-op in Sandstone - to build greenhouses, improve farmhouses, and create community hubs. These projects aim to preserve Black farming cultural heritage, train new farmers in sustainable practices, and host educational programs. The funding directly benefits Black farmers and their communities in Minnesota through tangible infrastructure and programming.
