Agricultural research, education, extension, and technology transfer account money transferal

This bill transfers $371,000 from the general fund to Minnesota's agricultural research account for fiscal year 2026. The funds will specifically support University of Minnesota research on how crops might become contaminated by chronic wasting disease (a fatal neurological disease in deer and elk). The legislation directs the commissioner of agriculture to allocate these funds to the University's Board of Regents for this purpose. It directly affects agricultural research efforts focused on mitigating risks to crops from animal disease exposure. The bill makes no new rules but changes funding allocation for a specific research project.
