SF 2431 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Agricultural land trends report requirement provision and appropriation

This bill requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Agriculture to prepare a report on agricultural land trends using a $750,000 one-time appropriation from the general fund. The report must include data on farmland sales (price, acreage, buyer type, financing), regional land use patterns, and legislative recommendations to maintain farmland availability for farmers. It mandates the report be submitted to relevant legislative committees by January 1, 2027, while ensuring no personally identifiable information is included. The bill directly affects state agencies (Agriculture, Revenue, University of Minnesota) coordinating the report, and informs future policy decisions about farmland preservation.
