Heritage oilseeds and grains funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 3124 appropriates $500,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents. This funding supports evaluating, propagating, and maintaining genetic diversity of heritage oilseeds and grains (like flax, barley, and alfalfa) that were commercially used in Minnesota before 1970, excluding wild rice. It also protects traditional seeds brought to Minnesota by immigrant communities and provides extension outreach to small farmers, with specific focus on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color farmers. The bill directs all funds to these designated conservation and outreach activities without specifying broader policy impacts.
