Commissioner of agriculture funding provided for an agricultural training program for Black youth at historical Black-owned farms, and money appropriated.

HF 1518 appropriates $1 million from the general fund for a one-time agricultural training program targeting Black youth in rural Minnesota. The bill requires the commissioner of agriculture to establish training at historical Black-owned farms, covering traditional and modern farming, sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship, and mentorship. It directly affects Black youth interested in farming careers by providing skill development opportunities at these specific locations. The key provision is the dedicated funding to create this program, with no ongoing annual appropriations specified.
