Meat, poultry, egg, and milk processing facilities funding provided; and money appropriated.

HF 41 appropriates $1.25 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1.25 million for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to provide grants for meat, poultry, egg, and milk processing facilities in Minnesota. The grants help facilities start up, modernize, or expand operations, with each grant capped at $200,000. Funds are administered under Minnesota’s agricultural growth program and may be carried forward to 2028 if unspent. This directly supports Minnesota’s livestock processing sector by providing financial assistance for facility improvements.
