HF 3960 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Transfer to Minnesota grown account increased.

This bill increases funding for Minnesota's agricultural programs by directing additional state money to specific accounts for research, testing, and promotion. It allocates $261,000 annually to the Minnesota Grown account to support local food marketing grants, while also funding avian influenza testing in food products and agricultural workers. The legislation provides $10.677 million per year for agricultural research and education, including studies on turkey diseases, wild rice, and crop contamination, with some funds designated for university programs and rural leadership training. These changes affect state budget allocations and benefit farmers, agricultural workers, and Minnesota-based agricultural institutions through grants and research initiatives.
