Livestock investment grant program grant awards modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's livestock investment grant program to change how grant amounts are calculated. Instead of offering 10% of the first $500,000 in eligible costs, it now provides 50% of the first $20,000 plus 20% of the next $220,000 in qualifying expenditures. The program supports Minnesota livestock producers raising animals listed in the bill (including cattle, swine, poultry, and bison) who make eligible investments in farm facilities, pasture improvements, or equipment. To qualify, applicants must be Minnesota residents or tribal government representatives operating farms that meet specific registration and documentation requirements. The changes aim to adjust financial incentives for livestock operations under the existing grant framework.
