Previous Department of Agriculture appropriation modified.

HF 3693 modifies Minnesota's 2025 Department of Agriculture budget by increasing the total appropriation from $56,052,000 to $56,552,000. Key changes include raising funding for dairy programs ($23,801,000 vs. $23,301,000), boosting the local food purchasing grant program to $1,200,000 in the second year (from $700,000), and adding $1,000,000 annually for county fairs. The bill adjusts specific line-item allocations within existing programs but does not create new initiatives or change eligibility rules. It directly affects how the Department of Agriculture allocates funds for current programs like dairy support, organic certification, and biofuel infrastructure.
