Agricultural Utilization Research Institute appropriation

SF 1516 appropriates $4,388,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $4,434,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute. This funding supports the Institute's existing duties under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 116V, which focus on agricultural research and development. The bill directly affects the Institute by providing dedicated funding for its operations but does not change existing policies or create new requirements.
