Minnesota Black Farmers Association appropriation

SF 1387 appropriates $1.363 million for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota Black Farmers Association. The funds will support greenhouse construction at Mahogany Farm (Mora), Frog Tree Farm (Verndale), and 40 Acre Co-op (Sandstone) to preserve Black farming heritage. Projects include developing sustainable agriculture programming, fostering new culturally aware farmers, and improving Mahogany Farm's farmhouse for community use. The bill directly supports these three farm sites as community hubs for cultural education and agricultural training.
