Agricultural land trends report required, and money appropriated.
HF 3260 requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Agriculture to prepare a report on agricultural land trends using $1.1 million in fiscal year 2026 funds. The report must include data on land sales (price, acres, buyer type, financing), regional land use differences, and policy recommendations to ensure farmland remains available for farmers. It prohibits including personally identifiable information and mandates submission to legislative committees by January 1, 2027. This bill directly affects agricultural land transactions and informs future policy decisions, but does not change existing land use laws.
