SF 1172 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Agricultural growth, research, and innovation program account creation in the agricultural fund authorization; appropriating money

This bill creates a dedicated "agricultural growth, research, and innovation program account" within Minnesota's existing agricultural fund. The account will hold money from gifts, grants, reimbursements, or appropriations for agricultural research and innovation purposes. Funds in this account will be directly allocated to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture commissioner to support those specific initiatives. The bill does not change existing agricultural policies but establishes a new funding mechanism to consolidate and direct resources toward research and innovation efforts.
